In this episode, we break down what Power
Factor Correction (PFC) is actually doing inside an offline power
supply. We will explain why bridge-rectifier front ends create
distorted input current, how active boost PFC reshapes that
waveform, and what engineers need to know about conduction modes,
interleaving, EMI...

Simulation tools can make the difference
between a slow, iterative power design process and a faster, more
confident workflow. In this episode, Würth Elektronik and
STMicroelectronics discuss how REDEXPERT and eDesignSuite help
engineers improve component selection, compare performance results,
and reduce debugging...

Isolated DC/DC supplies often fail late,
not because the theory is wrong, but because creepage, transformer
behavior, feedback drift, and compliance constraints show up when
fixes are costly. This episode explains the most common failure
modes and the tradeoffs between discrete designs and integrated
isolated modules.

Engineering Smarter Wireless Connectivity
Wireless systems don’t fail because the
radio is “wrong.” More often, they underperform because the
wireless technology choice itself doesn’t match the application.
Range falls short, latency creeps in, power consumption spikes, or
reliability erodes; all before the...
