"With great power comes great responsibility," says Spider-Man's wise Uncle Ben. Who knew he was really talking about electronic design, FETs, source nets, and switching frequencies? Power MOSFETs are ...

As integrated circuit (IC) designs continue to scale, the demand for efficient power management, performance optimization and reliable physical layout modification grows more critical. Meeting these ...

PC-board layout sets the functional, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and thermal behavior of a power supply. Good layout from first prototyping on actually saves significant resources in EMI ...

“This paper reports an in-chip current distribution verification technology for power devices that takes into account the effect of layout parasitics. The proposed method enables verification of ...

Open any switching power-supply datasheet or design handbook and the message is the same: follow these layout guidelines, OR ELSE. Even if the schematic has all the proper connections and the bill of ...
