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 ...
Despite running at much faster speeds than parallel interfaces, SERDES buses tend to be much easier to implement, as there is a specific set of problems to overcome. As long as the high-level ...
Moore’s law, applied to data rates, has pushed PCB circuits so fast that the layout becomes part of the circuit. In designs such as DDR3 and PCIe, the fastest memory and high-speed serial performance ...
For years, the worlds of electronic and mechanical computer aided design have evolved along very separate paths. It was never intended to happen this way. For example, the Design Automation Conference ...
Not everyone is an expert power supply designer, but those who are not may need to create a power supply design for your product in spite of the fact that you are not a power supply guru. Well, I ...
It is a good day for design review! Today’s board is the MuBook, a Lattepanda Mu SoM (System-on-Module) carrier from [LtBrain], optimized for a NAS with 4 SATA and 2 NVMe ports. It is cheap to ...
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 ...
PCB design can now be done on a smartphone or tablet. Zuken has launched a PCB design app that allows designers to access and change layouts using their own tablet or smartphone. The CADSTAR Touch App ...
WEBENCH® PCB Export, a feature in TI's online WEBENCH Power Designer, enables engineers can use to quickly create a power supply printed circuit board (PCB) layout and export it to industry-leading ...
