Noisy Power Rails How to Filter Noisy Power Rails Although a power supply might look like it produces clean power on an oscilloscope, power supply operation in a real system can create noise or be susceptible to noise. Power rails often need to serve power to multiple devices in a system at the same voltage, but with clean power in different portions of the system. When that is the case, noise on the main rail may need to be cleaned up before being provided to different portions of your system Read Article
Firing Your Hiring Habits by John Mitchell, President and CEO of IPC Firing Your Hiring Habits by John Mitchell, President and CEO of IPC This is a very insightful conversation!

PCB Impedance Table How to Read a PCB Impedance Table PCB impedance tables show values of trace impedance on specific layers, but without the designer choosing materials or a stackup. Read Article
What Ultra-HDI PCB Capabilities Can You Access? What Ultra-HDI PCB Capabilities Can You Access? When we talk about packaging, substrate-like PCBs, and fine-line PCBs, we are collectively referencing an area where PCB fabrication processing is pushing to the limit. This area is ultra-HDI, where the typical features in a PCB are scaled down to very small values. These more advanced capabilities enable traditional design practices with larger BGAs, but instead scaled into very fine pitches (0.3 mm) requiring tight spacing and linewidth. These Read Article
Common Flex Design Mistakes and How to Fix Them 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 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
