Circuit Design Is Better as a Team

By Roy

The best part of working at an electronics design and manufacturing company is that it can lead to a lifelong journey of learning and continuous self-improvement.

This photo opp caught my attention because it shows just how much our engineering team talks through in a typical week. The whiteboard is only a few days old, and it already includes discussions about:

– Buck/boost converter ringing while debugging a battery-powered circuit

– Circuit design and threshold selection for a closed-loop temperature controlled LED driver

– Transmission-line behavior from debugging a high-speed USB-C hub

– Voltage protection for a 12 V, 50 A automotive circuit that needs reverse input voltage protection

– Relay-drive protection circuits

– Motor-drive circuits

– Power-latching circuits

– IPC guidance for PCB vias

Shout out to the team. I enjoyed being part of these conversations.

Circuit design usually goes better when you have a team to whiteboard sesh with.
