Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

If you’ve been building circuits for any length of time, you probably know you need decoupling capacitors to keep your circuits stable. But even though it’s a favorite technique of ours, just ...

High-current, point-of-load (POL) buck converters leverage metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) to provide the pulse-width-modulation (PWM) pulse train to the output filter.
