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 are the black spots in lead-free solder joints on PCB?

I am prototyping a PCB, using Chip Quik’s “SMDSWLF.031, a Sn96.5/ Ag3.0/ Cu0.5 solder with 2.2% no-clean flux. I find that the black spots appears frequently in larger pads on my board. I wonder if it is because I left the soldering iron more time heating the solder and that burnt the flux. What is that black residue? Is that a sign of a bad joint or maybe bad soldering technique?

Why should we bake bare PCB?

The assembly note states: Bake bare PCBs in a clean and well ventilated oven prior to assembly at 125*C for 24 hours. Why is this necessary?

What is the importance of a ground plane of a PCB?

I find that the all types of PCB samples from my suppliers have ground planes. It seems important and I want to know about its function.
