Get the Most From Your Power Supply Design Software Get the Most From Switching Your Power Supply Design Software to Altium Power supplies can be difficult to design and layout as they require attention to safety and efficiency. Everything from isolation to thermal management needs to be considered in these systems, and designers need to have a complete set of design features to create reliable power supplies. In addition, power supplies tend to have mechanical constraints imposed by the enclosure, and these need to be considered when creating a PCB layout for a power Read Article
Guide to High-Speed PCB Layout Techniques in Altium Designer High-Speed PCB Design Guidelines and Techniques in Altium Designer High-speed PCB layout and routing can be complex and requires many diverse considerations. Important high-speed layout techniques and routing guidelines for your design span everything from trace widths on transmission lines to ground pour clearances, return path tracking, defined characteristic impedance, and much more. Simple design software packages simply can’t handle all of these constraints at once, leaving the circuit board designer to Read Article
Complete Guide to PCB Aging Test Methods Complete Guide to PCB Aging Test Methods for Electronics A finished PCBA that will be deployed in the field should pass several tests to ensure reliability and stable operation. Industry standards specify multiple testing methodologies, performance requirements, evaluation metrics, even test fixtures that must be used to assess electrical behavior, thermal cycling resistance, long-term thermal stability, ability to withstand thermal shock, and much more. With Altium Designer, you’ll have a complete Read Article
Power Supply Filter Topologies and Design Strategies Complete Power Supply Filter Design and Simulation Guide A PCB for a power supply can be as difficult to design as high-speed networking equipment and complex embedded systems. These circuit board designs need to account for a range of behaviors and safety requirements, especially when dealing with high voltages and currents reaching the output of the power supply. In addition to safety standards involved in power supply PCBs, component selection is critical for ensuring the design can provide the Read Article
