Today we’re proud to announce the release of EAGLE 8.7 and what is quite possibly one of the biggest releases we’ve had to-date, this time focused (largely) on libraries and library development (and what that means for 3D modeling of your finished PCB)! But before we get into it, let me share a thought — […]
How to Route Differential Pairs
https://www.electronics-lab.com/route-differential-pairs/
Sam Sattel @ autodesk.com discuss about the benefits of differential signals and how to route them in Eagle. If you’re designing a high speed PCB, then chances are you’re working with the latest and most powerful technologies, like HDMI, USB3.0, Ethernet, or DDR. But with great power comes great responsibility! As a result, you’ll likely […]
EAGLE Autorouter, When & How To Use
https://www.electronics-lab.com/eagle-autorouter-use/
Designing a PCB layout is a work of engineering art, includes placing components and routing them through different layers. So when you assign the same job for different engineers, each one would make it in his own way. But sometimes when working on a complex design some help may be necessary to finish the work. […]
