Analog/RF and Mixed-Signal Circuit Systematic Design
Even though within the electronic area, designers can take complete advantages of IPs and layout automation instruments to synthesize and layout very advanced structures, the analog designers’ activity remains to be regarded as a ‘handcraft’, bulky and extremely time eating approach. hence, super efforts are being deployed to advance new layout methodologies within the analog/RF and mixed-signal domain names.
One of many most powerful traits within the layout and manufacture of recent electronics programs and assemblies is the usage of floor mount know-how as an alternative for through-hole tech nology. The mounting of digital units and elements onto the outside of a published wiring board or different substrate bargains many merits over putting the leads of units or parts into holes.

We’ll start our study, this chapter, with a brief recap of the ideas we covered in the last chapter. We saw then that resistors in series may be considered as a single equivalent resistor, whose resistance is found by adding together the resistance of each resistor. This is called the law of series resistors, which is given mathematically by: Similarly, there is a law of parallel resistors, by which the single equivalent resistance of a number of resistors connected in parallel is given by: Using these two laws many involved circuits may be broken down, step by step, into an equivalent circuit consisting of only one equivalent resistor.
Not end-to-end as series joined resistors are, but joined at both 44 On the boards ends. We say resistors joined together at both ends are in parallel. 8 shows a breadboard layout. Both these resistors are, again, 10 k resistors. What do you think the overall resistance will be? It’s certainly not 20 k! Measure it yourself using your multi-meter and breadboard. You should find that the overall resistance is 5 k. Odd, eh? Replace the two 10 k resistors with resistors of different value say, two 150 Ω resistors (brown, green, brown).
What is the overall resistance? You should find it’s about 1k3 — neither one thing nor the other! So, what’s the relationship? Well, a clue to the relationship between parallel resistors comes from the fact that, in a funny sort of way, parallel is the inverse of series. So if we inverted the formula for series resistors we saw earlier: 46 On the boards we would get: and this is the formula for parallel resistors. Let’s try it out on the resistors of this last experiment. Putting in the values, 10 k and 1k5 we get: which is about 1k3, the measured value.
