Leveraging Interactive Reference Designs
Jumping into a new PCB design can be intimidating – especially if you are starting a brand new design and using new devices. Having a working sample to demonstrate how the components function and are connected within the design can give you a valuable head start. This is where reference designs come in! What […]
PCB Debugging with InspectAR
While augmented reality seems to have become another tech buzzword, it is making its way out of the lab and into practical applications and products.
System Design Using the TMC5160-BOB Evaluation Board
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band, Rush, has a popular song with the lines, “living in their pools they soon forget about the sea.” The song, “Natural Science”, points out how the big picture is obsolete to those blindly focused only on what is immediately in front of them.
Preventative Motor Maintenance With the STDES-FANPRE01 Reference Design
Reference designs are useful when starting a new product design, but many reference designs can overlap with each other.
Important Printed Circuit Board Terminology You Should Know
If you’re a new PCB designer, you’ll probably see a lot of printed circuit board terminology flying around, and it isn’t always clear what these terms mean. Engineering courses often lack a focus on PCB design in favor of a broader focus on systems design and semiconductors.
The TMC4671-EVAL: A Motor Controller & Driver Power Management Evaluation Board
Most circuit board designs can be considered custom, as most board development begins with the objective of solving a new problem or an old problem with a different set of performance criteria. In either case, the resulting board must go through the design⇒build⇒test (DBT) iterative process to produce a high-quality prototype or production level PCBA.
Circuit Board Parts: Procurement for Electronic Product Design
No electronic product can get to the market without a circuit board, which is why it is essential for PCB designers to look at the supply chain for circuit board parts early and often if they want assurance they can get their product to market on-time and on-budget.
Ultra Librarian and TDK Partner to Provide a Multi-Power Module Reference Design in 8 Different CAD Formats
Ultra Librarian® (http://www.ultralibrarian.com), the world’s largest free cloud-based CAD library provider, today announced its partnership with TDK to bring design engineers a 5W to 40W DC-DC multi-module reference design, from TDK’s µPOL™ Embedded DC-DC Converters product line, that enables design engineers to go from concept to design in under 15 minutes. “This reference design is available in eight […]
MAXREFDES220: Reference Designs for Finger-Based Heart Rate and Pulse Oximetry Product Prototyping
If you’re getting started on a design in a new application area or you’re developing an innovative new product, the design process will be easier if you have resources to help you get started.
