Modern electronics run hotter than ever. From AI datacenters and electric vehicles to smartphones and medical wearables, today’s devices push serious power through smaller footprints. And when the heat builds up, performance, safety, and reliability are all on the line. For today’s high-performance electronics, thermal management is often the make-or-break factor that separates products that thrive from those that throttle. Fortunately...

When electronic systems fail, heat is often the silent culprit. It creeps into power modules, sneaks behind display glass, and settles into datacenter racks with quiet intensity, gradually building up until it causes performance issues, component degradation, or even system failure. As devices become more compact and more capable, managing that heat has become a common thread that connects every design decision in modern PCB development. Thermal...

Hard switching in MOSFETs, particularly in DC/DC converters, is one factor that reduces system lifetime and creates excess losses which reduce power conversion efficiency. In regulators with low input current, this may not present a reliability problem, but it becomes a larger factor in many of today’s switching regulator topologies, which are operating at lower voltages and higher currents. Hard switching at high frequencies in these designs...

Design reviews are a cornerstone of the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (QSR), specifically outlined in 21 CFR Part 820.30. These reviews are structured checkpoints that play a vital role in ensuring the safety, effectiveness, and regulatory compliance of medical devices. For companies developing medical electronics, where hardware, software, and firmware must work seamlessly together, design reviews are not just a regulatory requirement. They...

For original equipment manufacturers working in marine and offshore operations, the smallest electronic component can have an outsized impact. A single faulty power relay or obsolete temperature sensor can cascade into costly downtime, safety hazards, and even contract breaches, with equipment often physically remote from traditional backup supplies or technical support. For procurement professionals in this sector, sourcing decisions can be...

The success of every product launch depends upon careful coordination between design, procurement, and manufacturing. With tight coordination, the journey to market is smooth and swift. At the heart of that coordination lies the bill of materials (BOM), a dynamic document that bridges the gap between engineering intent and supply chain reality.  In today’s fast-moving electronics sector, teams gain a significant advantage by integrating...

As modern electronics grow more complex, teams are building entire systems of interconnected boards, components, and harnesses. Yet the tools and methods used for system-level design haven’t evolved to keep pace with this complexity. The result? Fragmented workflows. Mismatched connectors. Costly rework. And critical design errors that surface far too late in the process. It’s time for a system-level revolution in electronics design. In this...
