Imx6 baseboard

 Imx6 baseboard





This is the motherboard of the imX6 REX open source processor. I started with the open source schematic of this board and doing the layout by myself from scratch to apply the knowledge gained through  advanced pcb layout course(fedevel) by Robert Feranec which I found really useful for high speed pcb designs. currently I'm done with the placement of the components and has completed around 60% of the routing of the design. I'm looking forward to share my insights on challenges I faced throught the layout process and things I learnt throgh this.

When Does Oscilloscope Probe's Capacitance and Resistance Matter?

Image
 You may have noticed that almost every commercially available oscilloscope probes have their capacitance and resistance values marked down. Do you ever wonder what difference does that make to your readings? Assume You have a signal source with 1mV and 0.1Ω series source resistance driving a load 1kOhm. We can model that as follows. As most of you know, Oscilloscopes sample the probes voltage. This is done as follows. Probes ground and signal terminal consists above mentioned capacitances and resistors. Refer the below model. As you can see, oscilloscope sample the voltage above the resistance and capacitance. Lets connect the probe to our signal source. Refer the below model. Now from your signals and systems knowledge, you know this creates an RC filter circuit. Essentially the R here is governed by the oscilloscopes R.  For a moment if you neglect the capacitor, circuit forms a voltage divider. Therefore, you can observe an accurate result only if the oscilloscope probes r...
