As fascinating and challenging as the PCB design process can be, it is important to take all necessary precautions to ensure proper circuit operation, especially when dealing with high power PCBs. As ...

In Part 1, we’ll discuss some general recommendations for designing PCBs that use motor-driver ICs, which require special cooling techniques to handle the power dissipation. Printed-circuit-board (PCB ...

In this product-how to, ANSYS’ Steve Pytel explains how to use the ANSYS SIwave-DC simulation tool to predict DC power loss and voltage drop for a PCB. As supply voltages continue to decrease and ...

Optimizing PCB layout for an eGaN FET based point of load (POL) buck converter will reduce parasitics, thus leading to improved efficiency, faster switching speeds, and reduced device voltage ...

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 ...

Gallium nitride power transistor maker GaN Systems has issued an application note showing how to use its novel GaNPX packaging on FR4 PCBs. GaNPX is a package in which the die is embedded within ...

Ronkonkoma, NY – Photonics Industries International Inc.

Hirose has expanded its hybrid FPC-to-board connector family to include a multi-power version that supports high power capacity in a compact, space-saving design. The BK11 multi-power hybrid ...

Hirose has squeezed two 4A contacts, four 2.5A contacts and 10 signal contacts into a 1.9 x 5.33mm two-part flexi-to-PCB connector with an 0.6mm stacking height. “The connector features an armored ...
