Voltage Fluctuation Do You Know How to Prevent Voltage Fluctuation? One of the most common types of power supply issues is output voltage fluctuation. This problem is caused by various factors, including input voltage variations, unpredicted changes in the load current, feedback control loop malfunctions, switching frequency issues, component tolerances, temperature variations, and aging components. This article will briefly explore the causes of output voltage fluctuation and provide insights on how to solve and Read Article
Trace Resistance vs Trace Impedance When Trace Resistance Trumps Trace Impedance Trace resistance, trace impedance, plane resistance, and plane impedace: when do you need to worry about all of these quantities? Resistance and impedance both are important in small traces and fat rails on a PCB, both internally and externally. Sometimes a new designer entering the world of impedance controlled buses might think they have a trace resistance target, when really they have a trace impedance target. While in power electronics, we Read Article

package PDN How Does the Package PDN Impact Power Integrity? Component packages have their own power distribution network (PDN) that influences their operation and drives compensation in the PCB. Read Article
Power Integrity Analysis in Your PCB Design Software Power Integrity Analysis in Your PCB Design Software Power integrity problems can abound in modern PCBs, especially high-speed boards that run with fast edge rates. These systems require precise design of the PDN impedance to ensure stable power is always delivered throughout the system. Without carefully considering the PDN impedance, you’re at risk of creating ripple and noise in the power distribution network when fast signals switch states. As more signals switch in large ICs, the result is the Read Article
