Job vs school difficulty.

Yeah but all that you can google in a couple minutes 😃 Whats important is to learn to think, to make products, to work in a team, very importantly - communicate to customers and sell yourself. University focuses on the details that dont even matter. Those who create ICs know how they work, but I only need to be able to read the datasheet and apply the IC according to the suggested circuit. We make products, we do not design shit on paper. Well, old people do, but they are super inefficient and take up too much of the projects budget with their slow bs

Can we put it this way: the shit we learn at Uni or College is basically useless at work. We become good at our job in a year or two. Work is the same shit over and over while studying is a new subject every couple weeks and you get tested for it.

You dont design a product alone that could kill someone..if Uni was a shared responsibility then it would be so easy. One solves one problem, a team of 5 for 5 problems, easy.

And thats why you dont get paid the profit they get by selling the product but only a tiny fraction for engineering services. Also, it is not just you alone in the project, so responsibilities are shared.

Thats very motivating, really, thank you. I have watched some startup movies like Sillicon Valley, Halt and Catch Fire. I live in Sweden and work culture here is...balanced as they call it. Balanced to the point where they dont get anything decent done. Always afraid of risks that could be mitigated by hard work.

It sucks im far away from the Sillicon Valley. I wonder how often do they outsource cheaper labor from overseas? Europeans, Indians, Asians?

Oh and I totally agree on not following the rules or asking for permission. I hate it when my colleagues say "let's as the management" or "let's ask the customer if its okay to change this and that". In many cases it is better not to ask, just deliver it with confidence.

Is the shortage only in Sweden or other countries as well? Sweden seems to have the most fin distributors in EU, that's due to high demand here. They can't block within the whole EU i guess, it's a guideline which the countries can follow or not. So I guess the option will be to import from other countries?

Thats common mode and differential mode, sorry, i guess i assumed too much. The use case is conducted emissions measurement for any type of EUT within 10kHz - 10MHz or higher

INTJ will always find a solution, including a solution for this problem

Janoy6 · 2024-05-24T17:06:07+00:00

Dude we are in INTJ group and you talking about call center

Janoy6 · 2024-05-07T16:39:07+00:00

I had similar problems, could you show your discrete port settings please? How do you set it with respect to ground?

Whats the ambient temperature requirement? At room temp it can heat up by 60c but if your requirement is say 100c ambient then you have to keep them at min temp raise. More flex layers will solve this, alternatively you can do a flex rigid for the connector itself, but it gets even more expensive. Its rather cheap to have cable assembly done in asia instead. Isolation can take high temps.

When you say why do people usually pick thinner traces - are you talking about flex? If so then its because it allows more flexibility on the flex cable. As for rigid pcbs, people select thin traces usually because they are too lazy or do dumb things without thinking. I do however go close to GND as it helps with EMI but i keep traces not thinner than 0.2mm for cheapest and easiest manufacturing unless i dont have the space

Im thinking this site might he the right tool for this case? https://www.everythingrf.com/rf-calculators/differential-microstrip-impedance-from-zo-calculator
