Do you want to design better products? Effective and efficient collaboration between mechanical and electrical design is crucial.
This whitepaper is for executives and designers whose companies design electromechanical products with printed circuit boards (PCBs) and who are looking for ways to increase the quality of their designs while eliminating wasted effort.
Mechanical and PCB designers share in the success of the final design. The problem is how do they work effectively together. It is like they speak different languages; well, they do. And the data exchange is not easy; it is time-consuming and, in the end, has lots of problems.
Stricter guidelines imposed by version 3 of the IEC standard for harmonic current emissions push designers to embrace power-factor-correction methodologies.
The flyback topology is a versatile, widely used, switched-mode power-supply design with some interesting characteristics that brings performance and BOM advantages to many applications...
Power supplies are everywhere and there are a lot of options for designers. Knowing the differences can help in selecting one for a particular application.
