The complexity and density of electronics design has increased, partly due to the rise of the mobile industry, introducing new challenges for printed-circuit board (PCB) designers. Embedding ...

In recent months, the ability to hide components inside a circuit board has become an item of interest. We could trace this to the burgeoning badgelife movement, where engineers create beautiful works ...

Researchers at the Fraunhofer IAF have integrated their monolithically integrated GaN power ICs using PCB embedding technology as a half bridge circuit, including gate and DC-link capacitors. By this ...

While working at a company that makes automotive embedded control systems, my colleagues and I set out to create a new PCB layout for one of our products. The product worked fine, but we needed to ...

A good switching power supply requires a good printed circuit board. In order to make an efficient one, the PCB designer should understand the phenomenon behind the operation of the typical switching ...

Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space and ...

Researchers at the Fraunhofer-Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF have integrated their monolithically integrated GaN power ICs using PCB embedding technology as a half bridge circuit, ...

The bulky batteries that power mobile devices could one day be extinct. Oki Printed Circuits has showcased technology that embeds a 170?m-thick thin-film all-solid-state lithium-ion (Li-ion) ...
