Consumer electronics, industrial, robotics, medical, and military applications all frequently use an AC/DC power supply, also referred to as AC/DC converter. An accurate design of the power supply ...
The answer: It depends. Automated electrical rules to check for PCB correctness based on vendor guidelines are easier to run, though less accurate than looking at SI simulation waveforms. Hardware ...
The diagram above is a typical PCB layout in Altium Circuitmaker software. The days of “electro” and “mechanical” being separate disciplines are long gone. Virtually all mechanical systems now come ...
Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...
It’s been a while, but I still visit the fundamentals of PCB design and troubleshooting. It is very effortless to generate unwanted signals that suddenly dance across the board. This acquired noise ...
Our 1ED44173/5/6 are the new low side gate driver ICs that integrate over-current protection (OCP), FAULT status output and enable function. This high integration level is excellent for the digitally ...
Electronic enclosures tend to have high thermal mass, which gives an opportunity to use them as a heat sink for a design. By ...
Process design kits (PDKs) play an essential in ensuring that silicon technology can proceed from one generation to the next in a manner that design tools can keep up with. No such infrastructure has ...
Today’s PCB design review is a board is from [Wificable]. iI’s a novel dual-SSD laptop adapter board! See, CPUs and chipsets often let you split wide PCIe links into multiple smaller width links. This ...
