How do you design a noise cancelling circuit?

I mean, headphones or ear buds are capable of reducing the ambient background noise. Can it realize by circuit design or other approaches?

October 11, 2023

There are two general solutions to cancellation processes.

The simplest is to use a feedback loop with a microphone inside the headphones. The feedback attempts to minimize the sound level at the microphone by producing sound that cancels ambient.
The second uses digital sampling for repetitive sounds like engine noise and produces a cancelling sound.

Why did the SMT pad fall off easily when soldering the PCB boards?

I am a buyer in a telecom company. Recently, an important order of SMT PCBA is delayed due to insophiscated production of a supplier. I am thinking about replace it and just very puzzled about how did their SMT pad fall off easily when soldering the PCB boards. That slows down the whole process.

Is it OK to bend a VIA in a Flex PBC?

On a Flex Printed Circuit (FPC) made out of Kapton polyimide, will anything bad happen if I put a VIA in a part of the FPC that has to bend? VIA size: 0.2 mm hole diameter in 0.4 mm copper diameter. FPC bend radius: 0.7 mm. Kapton thickness: 0.2 mm. Copper weight: either 2 oz or 1 oz (I haven’t decided yet)

Is there a reason an 0805 resistor would have a different land pattern than an 0805 capacitor?

My PCB design software comes with some libraries that include some common components, like chip resistors and capacitors. I have noticed, however, that the footprint land pattern for the 0805 resistor is not identical to the 0805 capacitor. Is there a “best standard”? IPC-7351, IPC-SM-782, or what?
