High frequency printed circuit boards (PCBs) have become increasingly critical in today’s rapidly evolving electronics landscape. From 5G communications to advanced radar systems, understanding the complexities of high frequency PCB design is essential for engineers working with modern electronic devices. This comprehensive guide explores the fundamentals of high frequency PCBs, design challenges, and practical solutions […]

This guide will walk you through the essential stages of PCB design, from conceptualization to finalization, helping you build a solid foundation in circuit layout.

Learn about PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards): types, purposes, and applications. Complete guide covering single-layer, multi-layer, flexible PCBs and more.

AC solid state relays (SSRs) have been around for a long time. However, these early devices were not suitable for all situations, for example, because of severe distortion around the zero crossing of the waveform. MOSFET-based SSRs have been around since around 1984, when International Rectifier patented a MOSFET circuit capable of handling low-distortion AC. It is not known if this was the earliest example, but it was probably close.

TVS devices of the same specification from different manufacturers should not be replaced arbitrarily. The most obvious difference between them is that their failure rates are likely to be different, and even significantly different. What is the reason? The overall machine failure caused by the device itself often occurs in two aspects: 1) Design issues […]

When a peak voltage is input, there is a potential risk of IC pins being damaged. Peak voltage often comes from the superposition of reverse electromotive force pulses generated by ESD, hot swapping, and inductive load disconnection.
