When tasked with a current sensing requirement, designers typically look first to using dedicated resistors designed for this task. Occasionally though there is the temptation to consider sensing ...
Printed-circuit-board (PCB) substrate material, like FR-4 glass epoxy, is a poor conductor of heat. Conversely, copper is an excellent conductor of heat. So, more copper area on a PCB is ideal from a ...
Different design tools may be required depending on whether you are considering a PCB trace in the context of relatively-low-frequency or relatively-high-frequency signals. Different design tools may ...
