Switching vs. Linear Regulators

Switching vs. Linear Regulators

We will analyze the pros and cons of Switching regulators (DC-to-DC) and Linear regulators (LDO) in order to determine the best option for PCB Desi...

The Evolution of FR-4

The Evolution of FR-4

In the past 40-plus years of PCB manufacturing, the primary material of choice has overwhelmingly been e-glass supported FR-4 resin laminates. This...
