How Multimodal LLMs Address Supply Chain Challenges How Multimodal LLMs Address Supply Chain Challenges The modern supply chain is a complex and dynamic network that spans across industries and the globe, encompassing a wide range of processes, everything from procurement and production all the way to distribution and delivery. As global supply chains become increasingly intricate, supply chain managers face numerous challenges, including demand forecasting, inventory management, logistics optimization and risk mitigation. The traditional methods Read Article
How to Compensate for Losses in Transmission Line Impedance How to Compensate for Losses in Transmission Line Impedance Copper roughness is perhaps the one factor creating the greatest uncertainty in transmission line impedance. Yes, different solvers have different summative models and calculation methods that are implemented to determine an impedance value, but an attempt to calculate the effects of roughness introduces a new uncertainty. This is due to the dependence of roughness-based impedance on the particular model being used and the frequency range where Read Article
Mechanics Meet Electronics Seamlessly in Multi-Board PCB Design Mechanics Meet Electronics Seamlessly in Multi-Board PCB Design If you really take time to appreciate PCB layout, you'll find that circuit boards are as much a work of art as they are driven by science and engineering. Multi-board PCB design only expands the possibilities in terms of form, function, and capabilities. The reality is that many products are multi-board systems, and the need to integrate multiple PCBs into a single package or ecosystem is a specialized area of electronics development. What makes Read Article

Efficient DC-DC Converter Design Efficient DC-DC Converter Design: Automated Measurements with Altium Designer 24 MixedSim One of the key challenges in modern electronics is providing tailored power supply solutions. This section may be composed of many different SMPS (switched mode power supply) like AC to DC converters or DC to DC converters. In high power applications, the AC to DC conversion may require a PFC controller to achieve a good power factor of the device (i.e., reduction in harmonics and apparent power consumption). Typical challenges in SMPS design are Read Article
