Common Flex Design Mistakes and How to Fix Them The ability to bend, flex and fold are one of the primary benefits of flexible circuit materials and while there are several examples of flexible circuit designs that withstand hundreds of thousands of even millions of flexes, the reality is that designs that are dynamically flexing often have had the design updated many times before reaching optimal performance. The good news for designers new to flexible circuit designs is that most flexible Read Article Understanding Power Supply Current Handling Issues: Causes and Solutions Troubleshooting power supply current handling issues is crucial to achieving optimal performance of your electronic devices. In this video, we will explore the common reasons why a power supply fails to handle the defined output current and provide practical solutions to solving these issues. Whether you are designing a power supply or repairing an existing one, understanding the structure of the power supply is key to quickly solving these Read Article Types of PTFE Materials for RF PCB Design PTFE (Teflon) PCB materials are sometimes seen as the magic bullet for your RF PCB stackups.
