In the ever-evolving landscape of power electronics, the emergence of gallium nitride (GaN) transistors has ignited a revolution by offering unparalleled benefits, including remarkable efficiency and power density enhancements. The art of PCB layout has been a crucial component in power electronic design for over four decades now, ever since the advent of switching power supplier. From the ea... » read more

AI PCB Design: How Generative AI Takes Us From Constraints To Possibilities

By Michael Jackson - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

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 generative AI, with large language models (LLMs) as the unquestionable poster child. It’s easy to see why; LLMs seemingly fulfill the promise of sentience, while in reality, they’re simply very goo... » read more

PCB Layout Tips For Low Side Gate Drivers With OCP

By Weidong Chu - 10 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

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 controlled Power Factor Correction (PFC) applications with boost topology and ground reference switching. In PFC applications, shunts are used to sense power switch current or DC bus current... » read more

Best Practices And Constraint Management Tools Speed RF Design For The IoT

By Jim Martens - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

By Jim Martens and David Zima The IoT has increased the demand for good radio frequency (RF) design practices from the mains, to wall outlet power, all the way to the antenna. With several IoT standards employed today, constraint management has become critical to ensuring that designs meet product performance and reliability. Even the simplest of IoT designs can benefit from constraint ma... » read more

High Speed PCB Layout: Physical Design Issues Of Highspeed Interfaces

By Various Writers - 28 Jun, 2012 - Comments: 0

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 comes with very specific physical layout requirements that are not obvious. Unless you are thinking like an RF designer, there are many unexpected challenges to a successful high-speed layout. A ... » read more
