  2. Teardrop (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teardrop_(electronics)

    The main purpose of teardrops is to enhance structural integrity in presence of thermal or mechanical stresses, [1] [2] [3] for example due to vibration or flexing. [4] Structural integrity may be compromised, e.g., by misalignment during drilling, so that too much copper may be removed by the drill hole in the area where a trace connects to ...

  4. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

  5. Schematic capture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schematic_capture

    Schematic capture or schematic entry is a step in the design cycle of electronic design automation (EDA) at which the electronic diagram, or electronic schematic of the designed electronic circuit, is created by a designer. This is done interactively with the help of a schematic capture tool also known as schematic editor. [1]

  6. Signal trace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_trace

    In electronics, a signal trace or circuit trace on a printed circuit board (PCB) or integrated circuit (IC) is the equivalent of a wire for conducting signals. [1] [2] Each trace consists of a flat, narrow part of the copper foil that remains after etching. Signal traces are usually narrower than power or ground traces because the current ...

  7. Automatic test pattern generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_test_pattern...

    ATPG (acronym for both automatic test pattern generation and automatic test pattern generator) is an electronic design automation method or technology used to find an input (or test) sequence that, when applied to a digital circuit, enables automatic test equipment to distinguish between the correct circuit behavior and the faulty circuit behavior caused by defects.

  8. DipTrace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DipTrace

    DipTrace is a proprietary software suite for electronic design automation (EDA) used for electronic schematic capture and printed circuit board layouts. DipTrace has four applications: schematic editor, PCB editor with built-in shape-based autorouter and 3D preview, component editor (schematic symbol), and pattern editor (PCB footprint).

  9. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are vulnerable to environmental influences; for example, the traces are corrosion-prone and may be improperly etched leaving partial shorts, while the vias may be insufficiently plated through or filled with solder. The traces may crack under mechanical loads, often resulting in unreliable PCB operation.
