A structured design review process ensures alignment across teams.

Higher power density, smaller form factors and long-life reliability expectations all collide, requiring better thermal ...

At the 2015 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility and Signal Integrity held last month in Santa Clara, I attended two technical presentations related to PCB power planes. One, ...

Fundamental to careful system design of any DC/DC power converter is a well-planned and carefully executed printed circuit board (PCB) layout. An optimized layout leads to better performance, lower ...

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

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) represents the next great step forward in PCB design. This is, of course, what you might expect me to say. 2023 has been a year dominated by the rise of ...

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 ...

When applications become more complex, higher data rates or high frequencies are required. However, with increasing functions, more power dissipation will be generated. Furthermore, temperature is ...

Do you have a 5 V device you want to run 24/7, no matter whether you have electricity? Not to worry – Linear Technology has made a perfect IC for you, the LTC4040; with the perfect assortment of ...

While Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition graphics card features the world's highest-performing consumer GPU released to date, it is also one of the most power-hungry GPUs ever made. As a ...
