Wurth Elektronik Watts Up Podcast- Signal Integrity of Base Connectors
In this podcast episode, we discuss Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) and Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) connectors, widely used in data PCBs. While there's no precise standard defining their signal integrity characteristics, we emphasize the importance of prioritizing signal integrity principles. Learn which frequencies can successfully pass through these connectors and explore factors like FFC length, pitch, and connector type. We also examine real-world scenarios, such as bending an FFC and the consequences of contact with an FFC, and address common questions engineers may overlook.

Wurth Elektronik Watts Up Podcast- Transformer Design for EMC
Transformers, although passive, play a significant role in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) within power supplies. In this podcast, we'll explore methods to reduce emissions by understanding transformer properties and employing construction techniques. We'll examine examples of both poor and effective design practices, ranging from flying leads to shield windings.

EMC Components for Automotive Applications
Anymore, passive components which are solely tested with AEC-Q200 standards are still insufficient for automotive use. Additional tests are crucial for ensuring high-quality components in vehicle electronics. This podcast explores design tips using components meeting AEC-Q22 qualifications for reliable automotive designs.

A Comparison of SMPS Topologies
In this podcast episode, we talk about why Switched-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) are preferred over linear power supplies in power supply design, and discuss the challenges of selecting the correct SMPS topology to meet cost, efficiency, and design requirements effectively.

Wurth Elektronik Watts Up Podcast- Processing Through-Hole in the Reflow
Because of fast assembling and small sizes, designers are turning to surfance mount technology on their PCBs. Although there are still through-hole (THT) components that need to be soldered by Wave, Through-Hole Reflow (THR), allows designers to solder the Through-Hole Components together with the surfance mount parts in the Reflow Oven, thus canceling the whole Wave Soldering Process; saving time and money.
