    1. Good TX performance indicates proper RF impedance matching. Poor RX sensitivity may result from external coupling to the antenna. For instance, the crystal signal harmonics could couple to the antenna. If the TX and RX traces of UART cross over with RF trace, they will affect the RX performance, as well. If there are many high-frequency interference sources on the board, signal integrity should be considered.

      TX performance is not bad, but the RX sensitivity is low.

    2. Add a 10 μF filter capacitor to the branch of the power trace (the branch powering the chip’s analog power pin). The 10 μF capacitor should be as close to the analog power pin as possible for small and stable voltage ripples.

      The voltage ripple is not large, but the TX performance of RF is rather poor

    3. The width of the main power traces should be no less than 25 mil. The width of VDD3P3 power traces should be no less than 20 mil. The recommended width of other power traces is 10 mil.

    1. Only a few other American books seem to have been published on the "how to" of advertising until the 1880s. In that decade, several types of publications began to appear: pamphlets or books that promoted the services of individual agencies; instructional books on how to do the work of advertising; and professional journals. Among the journals, one of the earliest and most successful was Printers' Ink, founded in 1888 by the ubiquitous George P. Rowell. The early promotional books, well exemplified by the "Blue Books" of the J.Walter Thompson Company [several examples are part of this project] sometimes combined information on the importance of advertising with samples of the agency's work, photos of their offices, and sometimes media information (e.g. newspaper or magazine circulation and rate information). Thompson also started very early to publish promotional books targeted to specific markets; The Red Ear of 1887 [excerpted in this project] listed agricultural papers that would be the appropriate medium for advertisers of farm products.

    2. The first advertising agency in America was set up by Volney Palmer in Philadelphia in 1841. For the next several decades the work of agencies was to broker space for advertisers in newspapers. It was not until the 1870s and 1880s that agencies began to resemble the "full service" operations that became the standard in the 20th century. Full service agencies may provide, for example, consultation on marketing problems, product naming, package design, advertisement design and production, and research, as well as purchasing media space or time to get the advertising message out to the public.

    1. Using the aforementioned textual elements, the first ad for coffee was published as strictly text with no visual elements. It appeared on May 26th, 1657 in the Publick Advisor: In Bartholomew Lane, on the back side of the Old Exchange the drink called coffee, which is a very wholesome and physical drink, have many excellent vertues, closes the orifices of the stomach, fortifies the heat within, helpeth digestion, quickeneth the spirits, maketh the heart lightsum, is good against eye-sores, coughs, or colds, rhumes, consumptions, head ache, dropsie, gout, scurvy, King’s evil, and many others; is to be sold both in the morning and at three of the clock in the afternoon. (Wood, 1958, p.32)

    5. “Advertising today is selling Corn Flakes to people who are eating Cheerios” (Levinson, 1994) In one simple sentence, advertising icon Leo Burnett is able to provide insight into the complex and constantly-evolving world of advertising. While you may not recognize Burnett by name, there is no doubt that you will know his work as he is responsible for bringing some of the most recognized brands to life; including: the Pillsbury Doughboy, the Keebler Elves, the Marlboro Man, the Jolly Green Giant, Tony the Tiger and Ronald McDonald. What made Leo Burnett so successful was the innovative use of textual, audible and visual elements to capture the imagination and the emotions of the target demographic. It is these elements combined with the emergence of communication technologies that have allowed advertising to evolve into an entity that blends information, innovation and science to be the educator of new technology.

    1. Thomas J. Barratt from London has been called “the father of modern advertising”. Working for the Pears Soap company, Barratt created an effective advertising campaign for the company products, which involved the use of targeted slogans, images and phrases. One of his slogans, “”Good morning. Have you used Pears’ soap?” was famous in its day  and well into the 20th century. Under Barratt’s guidance, Pears Soap became the world’s first legally registered brandand is therefore the world’s oldest continuously existing brand.

    1. Doing an insufficiently thorough job search. Here's what a thorough job search looks like: identifying 50 people not advertising an on-target job but with the power to hire you for your target job or create one for you, and you not only pitch yourself to them but make the effort to build a relationship with them over months. You must also regularly contact your extended personal network to get leads and build the relationship, have a good LinkedIn profile, craft many top-of-the-heap job applications, including collateral material such as a white paper, a portfolio, and substantive follow-ups after job interviews, for example, a mini business plan describing what you'd do if hired.

    1. Key Takeaways from the Webpage:

      Sustainability is an approach to design and development that focuses on environmental, social, and financial factors, and it promotes reducing waste, decreasing carbon footprint, and promoting diversity and decentralization. Digital products have an impact on the physical environment through transportation, travel, printing, and delivery processes. It is important to consider how these products affect the environment. Companies can design for sustainability by making small-effort improvements that can have a positive social and environmental impact, as well as improve user experience and sales. [ 1 ] Remote work can minimize employees' carbon footprint, conserve office space, and increase productivity. LinkedIn should promote a remote workforce and provide options for searching and adding remote jobs. [ 2 ] Direct flights are more eco-friendly than flights with layovers, and promoting direct flights can be a selling point for travel platforms like Kayak. [ 3 ] eBay can encourage users to sell their old items and use ground shipping instead of air shipping to make a positive impact on the environment. Amazon should collect data on product durability to help consumers make smarter purchase decisions

    2. Direct flights are much less harmful to the environment. A sustainability factor could be used as a selling point for direct (more expensive) flights, so Kayak can get a bigger cut.

    1. A circuit breaker is a safety device to prevent damage to devices in a circuit, such as electric motors, and wiring when the current flowing through the electrical circuit supersedes its design limits. It does this by removing the current from a circuit when an unsafe condition arises. Unlike a switch, a circuit breaker automatically does this and shuts off the power immediately, or darn close to immediately. In this way it works as an automatic service protection device.A switch is typically used as an isolator, turning power on and off to a particular device. A circuit breaker, on the other hand, can be used to protect a circuit that contains many switches or devices. An exception to this is a disconnect switch, which is used to connect or disconnect power to an entire control panel, or machine.Simply put, a switch is designed to switch power on and off, a circuit breaker “breaks” the circuit in an overload or fault condition. Switches switch and breakers break. These differences are crucial to understanding their safety and practicality.

      difference between circuit breaker and switch

    1. Figure 6 shows a high-impedance 10x probe where the input impedance is 9MΩ, the input impedance inside the oscilloscope is 1MΩ, and the total input impedance is 10MΩ. For 10x probes, the signal has 10x attenuation via impedance matching, and the higher attenuation ratio reduces the signal-to-noise ratio. Because the ripple is a small signal, it is better suited a 1x probe without impedance matching because the signal is not distorted.

      to measure small signal, it is better to use 1x without impedance matching

    2. Due to the influence of parasitic inductors and capacitors in the circuit, the actual switching power supply produces high-frequency switching noise in the switching tube as the power supply switches on and off (see Figure 2). The switching noise frequency exceeds the switching frequency; the switching noise magnitude relates to the parasitic parameters and PCB layout.

      switching noise are related to parasitic parameters of the pcb

    3. Consider a buck circuit. This switching device turns on and off at a certain frequency. Switch ripples are generated while the device switches, meaning these ripples are generated within the switching cycle. Typically, switching ripples range between tens of kHz to several MHz

      switching cycle ripples from switching element

    1. Both low- and high-frequency ripple currents are not functions of the amount of capacitance. Low-frequency current is a function of the output power; it is not a function of line voltage. High-frequency ripple is greatest at low line and is a function of line, boost inductance and output power.

      low freq and high freq ripple currents of the output bulk is depending on:

    2. Two main considerations determine how much capacitance you will need: the required holdup time and the allowable ripple voltage.

    2. Similar to other power management devices, whenlaying out the PCB it is important to use star grounding techniques and to keep filter and high frequency bypasscapacitors as close to device pins and ground as possible. To minimize the possibility of interference caused bymagnetic coupling from the boost inductor, the device should be located at least 1 inch away from the boostinductor. TI recommends the device not be placed underneath magnetic elements

    5. A resistor-divider network from VREF to GND can easily program the peak current limit voltage on PKLMT,provided the total current out of VREF is less than 2 mA to avoid drooping of the 6-V VREF voltage. TIrecommends a load of less than 0.5 mA, but if the resistance on PKLMT is very high, TI recommends a smallfilter capacitor on PKLMT to avoid operational problems in high-noise environments.

      Peak current limitation with PKLMT

    6. One of the main benefits from the 180° interleaving of phases is significant reductions in the high-frequencyripple components of both the input current and the current into the output capacitor of the PFC preregulator.Compared to that of a single-phase PFC stage of equal power, the reduced ripple on the input current eases theburden of filtering conducted-EMI noise and helps reduce the EMI filter and CIN sizes. Additionally, reduced high-frequency ripple current into the PFC output capacitor, COUT, helps to reduce its size and cost. Furthermore, withreduced ripple and average current in each phase, the boost inductor size can be smaller than in a single-phasedesign

      interleaving means smaller boost inductor, reduced emi ...

    7. The UCC28070 power factor corrector IC controls two CCM (Continuous Conduction Mode) Boost PFC powerstages operating 180° out of phase with each other. This interleaving action reduces the input and output ripplecurrents so that less EMI filtering is needed and allows operation at higher power levels than a non-interleavedsolution.

The regulation reference voltage for VSENSE is clamped toVSS until VSS exceeds 3 V. Upon recovery from certain fault conditions, a 1-mA current source is present at theSS pin until the SS voltage equals the VSENSE voltage. Pulling the SS pin below 0.6 V immediately disablesboth GDA and GDB outputs.

    1. THE PHASE-SHIFT FULL BRIDGE (PSFB) is a classic topology for applications that must accommodate a wide range of operating voltages, as with battery chargers. A PSFB converter generally uses four power switches (MOSFETs or IGBTs) to form a full bridge on the primary side of an isolation transformer.

      what psfb for

    1. Both the output charge and gate charge are ten times lowerthan with Si, and the reverse recovery charge is almost zero, which is key for high-frequency operations.

      advantage of GaN over Si

    2. The complete switching waveforms are shown in the following figure.

      this is very clear explanation of how PSFB works

    1. The PCB capacitance at the switch node can be minimized by following these guidelines:• Minimize overlap between the switch-node plane and other power and ground planes• Thin the GND return path under the high-side device somewhat while still maintaining a low-inductance path• Choose high-side isolator ICs and bootstrap diodes with low capacitance• Locate the power inductor as close to the power stage as possible• Power inductors should be constructed with a single-layer winding to minimize intra-winding capacitance• If a single-layer inductor is not possible, consider placing a small inductor between the primary inductor andthe power stage to effectively shield the power stage from the additional capacitance• If a back-side heat-sink is used, restrict the switch-node copper coverage on the bottom copper layer to theminimum area necessary to extract the needed heat

      how to minimize switching node capacitance. there is a trade-off for heat-sink copper size. heat dissipation vs low capacitance.

    2. The LMG341xR070's SOURCE pin is also signal ground reference. The signal GND plane should be connectedto SOURCE with low impedance kelvin connection. In addition, the return path for the passives associated to thedriver (e.g. bypass capacitance) must be connected to the GND plane. In Figure 19, local signal GND planes arelocated on the second copper layer to act as the return for the local circuitry. The local signal GND planes areisolated from the high-current SOURCE plane except the kelvin connection at the source pin through enough lowimpedance vias.

      How to connect signal ground?

    3. By using an inner layer and not the bottom layer, the vertical dimensionof the loop is reduced, thus minimizing inductance

      route over next layer to reduce total distance

    4. LMG341xR070s can be paralleled directly in soft-switching applications. As for hard-switching applications, smalldecoupling inductors should be utilized to parallel the two half-bridge LMG341xR070s. This type of setupprevents current and thermal unbalances among the parallel devices due to any propagation delay and gate-source threshold voltage mismatches, and other factors.

      how to parallel with soft and hard switching

    1. From equation (1) we see that under light loading, IL1 is small, so that ZVS operation is not easily achieved, but as the load is increased ZVS operation is more easily realized.

      more load means easier ZVS

    2. As in the explanations of Modes (5) and (6) and Modes (12) and (13), in the lagging leg, if the amount of energy stored in LS is not greater than that stored in COSS for a MOSFET, the MOSFET charging and discharging are not completed, and so ZVS operation is not achieved.

      how to not achieve ZVS

    3. Due to these changes in current paths, and as explained for Modes (7) and (14) in particular, the turn-on of a MOSFET in the lagging leg causes the input power supply and LS to be series-connected, and the energy in LS decreases rapidly. Because this action does not occur in the leading leg, differences occur in the current waveforms for the leading leg and the lagging leg as a result. Because of these differences in current waveforms, losses are different in the leading-leg MOSFETs and in the lagging-leg MOSFETs, and the amounts of heat generated are different, so care must be exercised in the thermal design.

      why lagging leg and leading leg has different heat.

    4. Q2 turns on. At this time DQ2 is conducting, so the Q2 drain-source voltage VDS_Q2 is essentially zero. That is, ZVS operation is achieved, and so a turn-on loss does not occur

      how zvs achieved

    5. Below, operation and current paths for Modes (1) to (14) are described

      how PSFB works step by step

    1. Switching transitions for switches in the Q1- Q4 leg start the power transfer interval. Therefore this leg iscalled the ‘Passive to Active’ leg.

    1. Power dissipation due to OUTPUT slewing during FET turn ON in the recirculation path is given by:PSW3 [W] = (0.5 x VD x IL x VD / SRrise x fPWM) + (0.5 x VD x IL x VD / SRfall x fPWM), where, (4)i. fPWM = PWM switching frequency [Hz]ii. VD = FET body diode forward bias voltage [V]iii. IL = Load current [A]iv. SRrise = Output voltage slew rate during rise [V/sec]v. SRfall = Output voltage slew rate during fall [V/sec]This dissipation is typically not considered as it is quite insignificant.
    2. Power dissipation due to the dead times between switching FETs is given by:PSW2 [W] = (VD x IL x tDEADrisex fPWM) + (VD x IL x tDEADfallx fPWM), where, (3)i. fPWM = PWM switching frequency [Hz]ii. VD = FET body diode forward bias voltage [V]iii. IL = Load current [A]iv. tDEADrise = dead time during rise [sec]v. tDEADfall = dead time during fall [sec]Dead times are necessary to mitigate any risk of current shoot through between the switching powerFETs. Integrated FET drivers often have a feedback based self timed FET switching sequence to ensurethe smallest possible dead times while avoiding any shoot through current.
    3. Power dissipation from conduction loss of each FET due to its on-resistance is given by:PRON [W] = RON × IL2, where, (1)a. RON = FET on-resistance [ohm]b. IL = Load current [A]

    4. Power dissipation due to output slewing during rising and falling edges is given by:PSW1 [W] = (0.5 x VM x IL x VM / SRrise x fPWM) + (0.5 x VM x IL x VM / SRfall x fPWM), where, (2)i. fPWM = PWM switching frequency [Hz]ii. VM = Supply voltage to the driver [V]iii. IL = Load current [A]iv. SRrise = Output voltage slew rate during rise [V/sec]v. SRfall = Output voltage slew rate during fall [V/sec]Output slewing rate is a balance between EM (Electro magnetic) performance and device powerdissipation.

    1. Here’s the thing. My brain sees letters and numbers as a color palette — the exact same color palette for as long as I can remember. For example, if you write the number ‘20’ in green on a white piece of paper, I see green on the page but if I look away, I see a light blue “2” and a black “0” in my mind.
