First Time Right Design of Low-Cost Boards with OrCAD Design Tools

In most cases, a VDC output power supply is a simple AC-to-DC converter that has a power supply voltage of 110 or 220 VAC, which it converts into VDC.

PCB layout net classifications can help organize your design and you keep track of all of your different routing rules and constraints.

Here are the typical SPICE model parameters you’ll need to create components and subcircuits for your circuit simulations.

High current DC voltages can be dangerous in systems that are not designed properly. Here’s how you can keep your system safe and functional.

Not only will a footprint library in PCB design help your design workflow to be more organized, it can cut down on your design time and improve quality.

Flyback power supply design involves multiple variables that create significant problems for designers and end users.

Do you need a switching regulator vs. linear regulator? Here’s how to bring each type of regulator into your power conversion strategy.

The maximum power output of any USB port is dependent on the hardware’s generation standard.

A parametric amplifier circuit is an advanced low-noise amplifier. These circuits can be complex, but simulations are easier with the right design tools.

To reduce time and expense from the traditional single board design process, take a look at how the multi-board ECAD schematic for system design can help.

You can run a SPICE-based simulation of power electronics with the right design and analysis tools.

By learning the best tricks in managing grids in PCB design, you can help yourself to create cleaner schematics, and more efficiently organized PCB layouts.

You can learn plenty about your circuits from a frequency sweep test. Here’s when to use one and what you can learn about your system.

A PCB is only as good as the underlying library. Your vendors want you to succeed so they provide the information you need.

Today’s complex system designs are demanding a lot more from the PCB designer. Here is a multi-board PCB design process overview that is designed to help you.

Noise margins in CMOS inverters is a standard of design margins to establish proper circuit functionality under specific conditions.

Working with the DC operating point or Q point of a component takes an understanding of the effect current has on a device.

PDN impedance is a serious affliction for your power delivery network designs and can be mitigated early with proper simulation, modeling, and transient analysis.
