Step-down converters’ switch-node voltage waveform defines the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) behavior for automotive CISPR 25 Class 5 measurements. The ringing frequency in the switch-node waveform is an important signal on the EMC receiver, where a higher ringing amplitude on the switch node often causes EMC issues. Understanding the switch-node waveform enables predicting the converter’s E...

DC/DC 变换器的典型参数中包括了额定电流以及取决于 PCB 尺寸和 IC 热阻的最大可能环境温度(TA)。本文将在小型双层 PCB (60mmx40mm)上对 MPQ4326-AEC1 和传统 6A 器件的热行为进行比较。 PCB板的层数取决于所计划的生产成本和 PCB 尺寸，通常都为两层PCB。在双层汽车 PCB 设计中，需审慎进行直流开关电源的组件布局，以满足汽车 EMC 和热规范。 本文将比较测试双层布局极为相似的MPS MPQ4326-AEC1 和一个6A额定电流传统器件（见图 1）。尽管两个器件各自具有独特的组件位置，但通过其相似的多边形布局和通孔位置，仍然可以比较其散热性能和效率（见图 2 和图 3）。 图 1 显示了 MPQ4326-AEC1 的典型应用原理图，它与传统 6A 器件极为相似。 两款 IC都采用了相同的外部元件封装尺寸和布局，因此...

With recent trends toward digitization and informatization, smart meters that provide high precision, a wide range, and remote meter reading have become an indispensable part of the modern power grid and integrated in thousands of households. Smart meters must upload data in real time, and in the case of sudden power failure, a backup power supply is required to save the data and upload it to the ...
