To begin, I’d like to say that you can read this part of the series without reading any other section first. It stands on its own. The concepts I present here apply not only to all the switching ...

This is part 3-2, a continuation of my personal favorite session of the entire series, where I will talk about PCB design for the best possible electromagnetic compatibility or EMC. Accidental ...

Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oId-h6AeXXE The PDF file shows a picture of the schematic capture, the PCB layout, and the layers of the PCB board.

Switching power supply is a widely used power supply topology in power electronics. Whether it can be a complicated CNC Machine or a compact electronic device, as long as the device is connected to ...

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 ...

Printed-circuit-board (PCB) substrate material, like FR-4 glass epoxy, is a poor conductor of heat. Conversely, copper is an excellent conductor of heat. So, more copper area on a PCB is ideal from a ...

A few years ago, I wrote a few columns titled Making A Thing. These columns were a tutorial of sorts for several different 3D modeling programs. This column wasn’t meant to be a complete guide to ...
