A SOM, which contains a microprocessor, memory, and peripheral components integrated into a single solder-down package, simplifies your design and debug efforts and cuts your board bill-of-materials (BOM) count. A SOM with connectivity takes this one step further and integrates a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radio. In addition, a SOM with comprehensive software development support can simplify your programming efforts. Finally, a SOM with connectivity can help you meet regulatory requirements for emissions limits and radio testing because the SOM manufacturer designs and manufactures its product with electromechanical compatibility (EMC) and radio compliance in mind.
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...
