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 […]

The Scottish philosopher Adam Smith, who is almost universally regarded as the father of economics, postulated that ‘consumption is the sole end and purpose of production.’
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 […]
0603 Package Footprints and Sizes of SMD Passives

For many through-hole components, there is a surface-mount equivalent available for your PCB. Thanks to standardization in the electronics industry, designers have multiple options for common components that come in a standard footprint.
