Integrated Power Switches: Enabling The Future Of Power Distribution And Protection

Texas Instruments

Power switches at their core offer a simple way to turn on and off your voltage rail or protect your power path. Load switches offer a compelling replacement for discrete power MOSFETs, and eFuses include additional integration for complete system power protection. However, both ICs go beyond just offering significant PCB space savings. By joining this webinar, power engineers will be shown how load switches and eFuses offer substantial performance improvements to comparable discrete circuits - all at an approachable price point. Register today to see how TI’s integrated load switches and eFuses can uniquely resolve the following common power management challenges:  

• Designing for improved battery life and power density
• The detection of and response to field mis-wiring
• Faster current limiting

3D Electronics: Escaping the Constraints of PCBs

IDTechEx

3D Electronics covers all the methods of adding electronics both to 3D surfaces and incorporating them within 3D objects. This promises much greater design freedom and potentially reduced costs as assembly is substantially simplified. Other advantages include reduced weight and greater durability.

We will cover the three different approaches to 3D electronics, specifically applying electronics onto surfaces, in-mold electronics (IME) and 3D printed electronics. Applying electronics to 3D surfaces is the most developed of the three, primarily in the form of laser direct structuring (LDS). IDTechEx forecast substantial growth in printing conductive traces and mounting components directly onto 3D objects. IME is also set to become a widespread manufacturing method, primarily in the automotive sector, as it greatly simplifies the manufacture of functional interior panels. Fully 3D printed electronics is primarily used for prototyping at present, but as the process speeds up it should enable rapid on-demand manufacturing at low volumes.

This webinar includes:

• Discussion of the various approaches of manufacturing 3D electronics, their differentiating factors, readiness level, and the applications to which they are best suited.
• Case studies showing how 3D electronics can be used in many different applications.
• Overview of the latest market forecast for the different 3D-electronics categories, highlighting which techniques and applications are predicted to see the most growth over the next 10 years.
• Analysis of technological transitions and associated innovation opportunities.

Derating of connectors - What do you need to consider?

Würth Elektronik

Derating of connectors - this is the containment of unacceptable heating by the correct use of connectors. Würth Elektronik answers the following questions:

Which connectors are suitable for which application?
How can I optimize a connector and reduce contact resistances?
How many pins can be operated under full load?
What does a derating curve look like and where can I get it?
What influence do the different components of the connector have?
