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.

What’s the meaning of “CR” marked on the PCB?

Receive the PCB prototype from supplier. And see a CR mark on the board. What does it mean? Is it related to quality control?

Is aluminium foil a good substitute for kapon tape when soldering?

I want to desolder a tiny surface mount button from the motherboard of a phone. There are a lot of similarly tiny components surrounding it that I do not want to damage with heat from the soldering iron. Can I use aluminium foil in lieu of kapton tape to protect these components?

Is there a surface-mount component I can put on a pad, that simply has another pad on top that I can solder something on to?

We found that edge-mounting a TO-Can package to a PCB will really save a lot on manufacturing. However, it comes with fairly long through-hole pins that are taking up too much space to reach the pads. Any suggestion?
