Why PCB Design Has Outgrown Single-Board Thinking

A PCIe signal leaves one PCB, crosses a connector, travels through a cable assembly, enters a second board, and suddenly fails EMC testing three months later. The layout on each individual board looked correct. Signal lengths were matched. Constraints passed. Manufacturing files were clean.But the product still failed. Read more

Optimizing windings for losses and space in radial flux motors

Balancing wire cross-section, fill factor, and losses poses a core challenge in radial flux motor design, where AC/DC effects like eddy currents and skin effect impact efficiency and thermal performance. The optimal choice – whether single-layer edgewise for loss minimization or multi-layer Litz/orthocyclic for space utilization – depends on an overall assessment of frequency, current, and…
