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 ...

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 ...

This article was prompted by a friend of mine asking for help on a board with an ESP32 heart. The board outputs 2.1 V instead of 3.3 V, and it doesn’t seem like incorrectly calculated feedback ...

The critical role of snubber circuits in minimizing ringing and overshoot. How snubber circuitry is evolving to adapt to trends in power electronics, like the rising interest in wide-bandgap ...

Gallium nitride (GaN) is an ideal material for applications requiring high switching speeds and minimal power losses. While ...

Flux offers an artificial intelligence platform that enables users to design PCBs with prompts. A manufacturer looking to monitor its production line could request a PCB with temperature and pressure ...
