Performance of modern power supplies must demonstrate excellent efficiency at all power levels. Lear in this Würth Elektronik and NXP webinar how to improve power supply efficiency at low load conditions. Traditionally, power supply efficiency is important for high power levels to reduce energy consumption of the overall application during normal operation. To minimize the size and cost pf component and power supplies by...

Knowles Precision Devices releases white paper How to Size a Snubber Capacitor for Your Power Supply. Given that snubber capacitors address the negative impacts of switching, it’s no surprise that they’re most commonly found in switching power supplies. These systems face major challenges from switching, including:  Switching transients  Parasitic elements  High-frequency noise  AC to DC conversions in electric vehicles (EVs) is a great example....

Samtec has expanded its successful line of Edge Rate® board-to-board connectors to include a higher density mated set that is half the width of previous designs and offers a lower-profile 5 mm mated height (ERF6 & ERM6 Series). ERF6 & ERM6 Series Edge Rate® connectors support 56 Gbps PAM4 high-speed, rugged mezzanine applications for industrial, embedded vision, instrumentation Read the original post at Samtec Introduces 0.635 mm...

This podcast by Würth Elektronik explains conditions and processes how to mount through-hole components by reflow. Because of fast assembling and small sizes, designers are turning to surfance mount technology on their PCBs. Although there are still through-hole (THT) components that need to be soldered by Wave, Through-Hole Reflow (THR), allows designers to solder the Read the original post at How to Process Through-Hole...

This Würth Elektronik webinar dives into the fascinating world of miniaturization of printed circuit boards with embedded active and passive components. The efficient use of ever smaller housing volumes and tiny surfaces is becoming increasingly important. Embedding technology is the proven solution to these challenges. Find out more about the advantages and possibilities of embedding Read the original post at Miniaturization of PCBs with...
