A good switching power supply requires a good printed circuit board. In order to make an efficient one, the PCB designer should understand the phenomenon behind the operation of the typical switching ...

We’ve often heard you should do everything twice. The first time is to learn what you need to do, and the second time is to do it right. We bet [Ian Carey] would agree after taking his old linear ...

The best news when you power up a prototype supply board for the very first time is when it not only works, but also runs quiet and cool. Unfortunately, this does not always happen. A common problem ...

Victory PCB, a professional printed circuit board manufacturer based in Shenzhen, today announced its continued focus on the production and supply of Heavy Copper Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), ...

This printed circuit board for the 5 VDC power supply was designed with EAGLE and fabricated onsite with the Othermill. Using the pictures, install and solder the following components in their ...

Designed to meet the space and performance needs in instrumentation, industrial controls, embedded systems and telecommunications applications, a new open PCB switching power supply provides output ...

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 ...

Partnership addresses the needs of hardware engineers facing reliable power distribution problems during printed circuit board (PCB) design and layout Electromagnetic (EM) simulation technology ...

The ability to operate at up to 25A is made possible by a new, thermally enhanced 5 x 6 mm PQFN (Power Quad Flat No-Lead) package using a copper clip, as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1. Fabrication of the ...
