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 ...

Consumer electronics, industrial, robotics, medical, and military applications all frequently use an AC/DC power supply, also referred to as AC/DC converter. An accurate design of the power supply ...

Texas Instruments (TI) unveiled WEBENCH® PCB Export, a new feature in TI's online WEBENCH Power Designer tool that engineers can use to quickly create a power supply printed circuit board (PCB) layout ...

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 ...

Ways to mitigate noise in SMPS. What to look for in PCB layout to reduce EMI. What are SSFD and DRSS? Electromagnetic-interference (EMI) reduction techniques for power circuit designs are segmented ...

When designing a mains power supply for a small load DC circuit, there are plenty of considerations. Small size, efficiency, and cost of materials all spring to mind. Potential lethality seems like it ...
