Users of your software can't view this video from inside the 'Learning Center' library, please enable embedded playback on all your tutorial video uploads that you have playlists setup for.

I'm actually surprised that a tool that knows every theoretical parameter of a design, down to layer thicknesses and dielectric constants, can't auto-check via propagation delays, your tool literally knows if a via is a stub as well as things like if via rings are enabled on a per layer basis. Apply that information! External calculations with incorrect information or a design that simply changes later, are going to cause errors there.. Also whoever is managing this channel, you need to enable embedded playback.. we can't watch SOME of your playlisted tutorial videos from INSIDE your software player. "Snapping When Creating Polygons" being the first of many I've already encountered.. plays on site fine, but in your software, broken.. 'An error occurred. Please try again later.' This means you randomly have 'embedded playback' blocked on a bunch of your own support videos that you guide new users to. 🤦

hi. how to design or create a CMC choke in Altium Designer. whereas later I'd able to run the simulation. Thank you

Take your hand off the camera please. 😊.

when I try to extract the netlist it gives this error "One or more layer types are not defined". However, I can see that all of my layers are defined!

Where does the second page come from?

Tres bon pour moi, j'ai décroché a 6.21 a cause du sous titrage qui masque vos écritures , mais je vais continuer sur le pc plus tard et surtout essayer de mesurer vos theories avec mon materiel d'amateur. En 1981 mon premier employeur fabriquait des radios libres avec juste un tektro 465 et du flair 🤔 Merci

J'en suis qu'a la moitié, avec les sous-titres et votre prononciation, c'est un des meilleurs cours sur yt. In the past, i have heard mrf317 singing audible vibration when my boss was according 88-108mhz fm amplifiers. 😮 Never seen something about this sound on youtube.

Recently I got around a machining shop and connected my notebook to the outlet. First of all when the guy 30m further switched on his angle grinder the mouse started to act weird on my notebook, second of all the wifi dropped. Is this somewhat part of EMC? Another situation, I connect an Asus notebook to a servo amplifier via RS232, if I touch the notebook and don't have rubber shoes on the mouse of this notebook will also go crazy. Interestingly here this does not happen with eg. a Macbook. Is this also part of EMC? How do small companies handle EMC? I know some companies who just design PCBs and release it to the wild without EMC testing at all hoping that their volume is small enough anyway and do not cause any issues.

Good.

Great stuff guys! Thanks!

I'm learning a lot from these videos .

I know you believe you're doing a great service to the electronics community with this stuff, but what you're really doing is putting purchasing activities into the hands of design engineers who are not trained to use it. This "easy import" of data absolutely destroys any hope of keeping a disciplined parts library, or of consolidating part types across projects to minimize different part numbers you may need to catalog and stock. Rather, it creates a "Wild West" style of component management that breaks down any decent procurement infrastructure. This kind of operating process may be useful for hackers, and garage shops, but it wreaks absolute chaos on any formal parts engineering system.

When is the whole interview will be available? Looking forward to it. Thanks

I wonder how my custom linux SBC would perform on the EMC test

thank you sir, that's an awesome explanation, can you post a video of doing the extraction in advanced design system.

If this tutorial is the “easiest” to use the object selection features on the PCB board! I don't want to know the "most complex"! I'm just trying to change the diameter of the holes on all the PADs on my board!! Can you do a tutorial on this, in a SIMPLE and DIRECT way, please?

Hello. When I select "Custom shape" - I do not have the same menu for working with lines by coordinates. I still see the stack manager. AD 24.4.1.

hey zack. do you review kicad projects?

very nice

What the fuck I came looking for custom transformers not these small cubes

jesus, this looks like OrCad now, whyyyyyyy

can you pleae elaborate about the guard ring part?

Sir I have a confusion: I have a ATMEGA128A based microcontroller board, which control a small AC synchronous motor , 6 RMP through a 5V/5I REALY with fly back diode across relay coil. during switching of motors sometimes create problem (at random times in hours). RTC freeze and LCD display garbage. Is it EMI problem ? ESD? Board is given power through 5V/5I SMPS. Shall I put a LC or pi-filter or "as you said higher order pi-filter" after SMPS ? what should I do ?

Pwr Sig Gnd Gnd Sig Pwr Wouldn't that space between power and ground at some point be a problem?

What happens if all them switch together, other than ripple. Does it impact stability of the overall loop. Thank you

Hi zach, how can i lower the inductance when a component pinout have power on one side and ground on the other side?

tldr; don't use 2-layer boards

Can i just put a big ass magnet on my meters magent??

Can you explain why you'd break that pad into four smaller openings?

what is a fiducial? I saw that in multiple designs.

Hey Zach I want to understand how we can solve the ground bounce in the PCB. I am facing a problem with the ground plane, the voltage between two ground which are MCU GND and Gate Driver GND is a deflection of 2.5v to 3v while disengagement of mosfet.

I was struggling in that too. Nice tool

Unfortunately Altium is too expensive for hobbyists. I'd love to use it, but can only afford it at work not at home.

Why is the quality of the video so bad? I can barely read out the letters..

There are two churches - separate ground and common ground. Like catholic and orthodox. And nobody just cam make comparison for this difference on same design regarding noise/emi and more total - signal integrity.

BVDD - Battery Voltage and Battery GND?

thanks, it is unclear for me tge last example, i couldn't notice the part where the onchip gnd is connected to PGND.. could you please clear it a bit, thanks

How to simulate reflection in altium? And S parametr?

Sir, Isn't it a complicated buck convertor ? Can't we use AMS1117 3.3, which can handle up to 1A current and easy to use. I think it don't need an inductor and so much components.

Sir I have two questions: As you said, pi-filter is a lowpass filter. What type of noises pi filter is reducing. Question 1. Let suppose we are using SMPS, not USB. We can also use this pi-filter after SMPS ? (excellent quality SMPS) ? Suppose an AC inductive load when "switched off" create high surge voltage on POWER LINES. I have seen SMPS is not able to stop the impact of these surge voltage. So it pass through SMPS and disturb microcontroller and other components on board. 2. Do pi-filter will be useful in this case? 3. We can also used EDS protection after SMPS ? ESD protection after SMPS will be helpful to reduce impacts of surge voltage ? What component will be used for ESD protection ? TVS diode ? Humble rest to guide in details : 🙌 share a relevant video link.

Should we isolate somehow the guard ring from the system ground with caps ? Are not the system chasis a source of noise to the system ground if they are tied together without isolation? Thanks !

Ethernet ground and system ground should be isolated by caps and high value resistors, at least in my opinion ,is that right?

How many people accidentally closed the video with Ctrl + W.

"very high end", yeah, maybe 10% are made outside of China

Is part IV of this series going to be published soon?
