When reading about correct PCB layout techniques in most technical literature, you will most likely read about multi-stage filters and blocking capacitors for supply pins of digital ICs. However, real measurements or practical simulations are often missing. In this podcast, we will show the influence of design, the number of ground vias, and the placement of the MLCC filter components to each other. 

The working current is the maximum current that can be used for your connector at any time for any duration. For specific applications, such as motor starters and capacitance discharge, it's recommended you use a higher current than usually accepted by the connector. In today's podcast, we'll discuss what other values need to be considered when selecting a connector and also talk about reasonable temperature rise and lifetime of the connector.

When you're in the development phase of a Gigabit ethernet interface, what is absolutely necessary to consider between the phy and ethernet connector? In this podcast, we're going to dive into the details of the circuit technology, what components need to be considered, and how the board should be properly laid out. We're also going to talk about the design of the ground system and explain the board layout using practical examples. 

Machine data can be collected from almost every device, but how can you make the process easy and comfortable if the device has no display or it's hard to reach? The answer is Bluetooth™. In this podcast, we'll discuss software solutions for fast evaluation and how they can be easily adopted to various applications.
