Andreessen Horowitz leads a Series A investment in Diode Computers, which translates printed circuit board layouts into code.

element14, an Avnet Community, has launched a new global design challenge in collaboration with Würth Elektronik. This new ...

A battery backup for the solar-mains hybrid lamp design that supplies a constant light output regardless of available solar ...

Such an airy and open design obviously has the potential for mechanical issues, which [Sasa] addressed by adding pads at three corners of each board; a vertical PCB connects to each LED board to ...

PCB layouts can be nightmarish on a typical LED display module design. We compare system concept sketches utilizing one 48-output driver (Figure 4a) and three 16-output drivers (Figure 4b). Both ...

The Midled SFH 4140 side-looking LED extends a mere 0.6 mm above and below a printed-circuit board (PCB). The T-shaped transmitter, occupying 4.6 mm 2 of board space, emits a beam at an angle of ...

With the LED PCB removed, the power supply shot up to 315 V. Then it would crowbar and output would decline to 259 V, at which point the supply would once again shoot up to 315 V. This took about ...

Inevitably, this has led to designers sacrificing certain design aspects for the sake of others, adopting more PCB layers than needed or taking a “good enough” approach to avoid extended time to ...

Inside, a larger aluminum PCB holds (16) 3.5 x 2.8 mm LED packages. Each LEDs drops around 8.5 V at 50 mA, so they contain 3 chips; like the GE Classic bulb, this one uses 48 total LED dice.

It may seem something of an understatement, but Phil Mayo, director of sales for Altium UK, believes: “The PCB is important.” And perhaps that’s one reason why the workshop and conference sessions ...
