This series of articles discusses the different steps of PCB development from the basics of creating a design schematic with specific requirements, to finalizing a board and preparing it for ...

The buck-boost dc-dc switching converter (one that provides a constant output voltage regardless of whether the unregulated input voltage is greater than or less than Vout) presents a greater design ...

There are a number of system design factors requiring consideration when implementing an FPGA processor. Some of those factors include the use of co-design, processor architectural implementation, ...

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...

For our last lesson, we're going to take a look at how to use Photoshop to layout and mock up a web design from scratch. If there ever was a Photoshop lesson that required the video component, it's ...

In the world of tech and innovation, there's a perception that new and disruptive technologies originate solely from a select group of tech elites in Silicon Valley. While this is an obvious ...

Paul Schimel discusses the nuances of these MOSFET bugaboos and how to mitigate them from the start with solid design practices. MOSFET ABCs. MOSFET false turn-on mechanisms. Turn-on from excessive ...

The integration of analog with digital and the increase number of on-chip features in mixed-signal controllers demand more complex I/O structures. Though they are sometimes some of the most neglected ...
