PCB Thermal Design Guide: Tips For PCB Analysis and Performance

Electronics are becoming faster, smaller, and used in more demanding environments. Miniaturized ICs and SMDs operate at higher frequencies and require more power. Increased current demands cause voltage drops across resistive elements, generating heat and leading to temperature rises and hotspots. Over half of electronic component failures now stem from heat-related stress. To develop high-quality circuit...

PCB Resistors and Board Design

PCB resistors are designed to be mounted and soldered to printed circuit boards; they control current flow and divide voltages, among other things.  PCB resistors come in many shapes and sizes, but they’re all designed to fit easily into board layouts. They have two terminals that can be soldered to the conductive traces on the PCB so they...

What is a Printed Circuit Board?

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are a fundamental component in electrical engineering. They are used to create electronic circuits by arranging components such as transistors and resistors on a copper-based wiring pattern on the surface of an insulator (typically plastic) and then soldering them. PCBs are integral to nearly all electronic devices, providing the necessary pathways for...
