One important innovation in the field of DC/DC power converters is the realization of higher and higher density designs. In the push for smaller-footprint solutions, designers are now focusing on ...

A structured design review process ensures alignment across teams.

This week Mentor Graphics released its Xpedition™ platform, which squarely takes aim at simplifying board layout and place and route. Long gone are the days when each component could be considered a ...

If you’ve been spending hours with the digital calipers while designing enclosures for your circuit boards there may be a better way. [Phil] tipped us off about a new software package that will let ...

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 ...

When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...

In this article, an automotive expert will use MPS’s MPQ4323-AEC1 to provide practical advice on how the schematic and layout designs for two-layer PCBs can be fine-tuned to achieve the best possible ...

Viewed from the outside, the world of the printed circuit board (PCB) seems to move very slowly. The core technologies used in PCB fabrication have not changed radically in decades; boards remain ...

An IO-PCB (two motor-driver/H-bridge, CAN, RS232, ADS1115, relay, ethernet, ardusimple f9p compatible connector) with an ESP32 for 12V power, three 15V tolerant analog inputs, three 5V tolerant inputs ...
