This article, The DC Bias Effect in Ceramic Capacitors, is based on the above YouTube video. My aim with this is to provide the same content, but more detailed, in a written form. Please watch the video above for a different style of the same basic info. Background This topic is unique to [...]
DC/DC Buck Regulator Design For Conducted Emissions Introduction One of the most important considerations when designing a DC/DC buck (step-down) switching regulator is conducted emissions. Due to the switching nature of these converters, there will be large transients on the input side of the [...]
Rise Time and Series Resistors Introduction When designing electronics, people tend to think that the raw data rate of a signal rules all. The thought is, the faster the data rate, the harder it is to have good Signal Integrity. A higher data rate will have worse Electromagnetic emissions. While [...]
In today’s world of ever shrinking electronics, there is a constant push for incorporating lithium ion batteries into products. There are many intricacies to handle when designing a safe and effective battery scheme. I previously discussed some of the safety/protection aspects of lithium ion [...]
How to Read a Datasheet? Why is this article needed? I remember back when I first began designing electronics as a hobby. I would only use an Integrated Circuit (IC) that I could find a tutorial or guide for. It was terrifying for me to read through the massive datasheets that all IC’s have! [...]
With the widespread cultural influences of startup companies and entrepreneurs, manufacturing a product overseas seems to be the “end all, be all” to cut costs. While this certainly can be true, there are some common pitfalls that can cost more than just money. The goal of this article [...]
Lithium Ion batteries are one of the best technologies to use for a battery in portable electronics. They can also be one of the most dangerous if safety precautions are not taken. In this video I go into understanding what UL listing for a product means, and how it can help increase the safety of [...]
