SUMMARY:PCB design for a Smartwatch
DESCRIPTION:Webinar: SLIM.hdi Customer Success Story: PCB design for a smartwatch – with special guest Lukas Henkel (OV Tech GmbH)\nWed\, Jul 23\, 2025 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM CEST \nJoin our free webinar where Lukas Henkel from OV Tech GmbH (Open Visions Technology) will present a particularly innovative smartwatch project. The design is built around a custom in-house System-in-Package (SiP) and runs on a Linux-based operating system. The PCB was developed in Altium Designer using a standard SLIM.hdi stackup from Würth Elektronik. SLIM.hdi is an any-layer microvia technology: its thin layers allow small vias and thus achieve very high wiring density. \nIn the webinar Lukas Henkel will guide participants through the entire development process – from the challenging PCB layout and component placement to the fully assembled smartwatch system. He will compare SLIM.hdi capabilities with conventional HDI technology and share insights from the close collaboration with Würth Elektronik’s experts. \nThe webinar will conclude with a Q&A session\, giving live participants the opportunity to receive first-hand insights directly from Lukas. \nIn this webinar we will show you \n\nSLIM.hdi Technology: Introduction to the any-layer microvia technology by Würth Elektronik (benefits for miniaturization and signal integrity)\nSmartwatch Design: Overview of the modular open-source smartwatch system (Altium Designer\, standard Würth Elektronik stackup\, i.MX8 ULP SiP)\nDesign Workflow: Insight into the complete PCB and system development process up to the finished device.\nTech Comparison: SLIM.hdi vs. conventional HDI processes.\nCollaboration Report: Working with Würth Elektronik\nLive Q&A: Question & answer session with Lukas Henkel.\n\nThe webinar is of interest to employees in project management\, PCB design\, electronics development and students who would like to gain an insight into innovative PCB solutions. The live Q&A session during the event gives you the opportunity to get targeted information that is not available in the recording. You can send your questions in advance by email (webinar@we-online.com) or ask them live during the webinar.

SUMMARY:Could Piezoelectric Devices replace Magnetics in Power Converters?
DESCRIPTION:Could Piezoelectric Devices replace Magnetics in Power Converters?\n\nWed\, Jul 23\n\n\n5:00 PM – 5:40 PM GMT+2\n\n\n\nIn applications from consumer electronics to transportation\, compact and lightweight systems are essential.  As power converter designs move higher in switching frequency to achieve smaller form factors and meet this goal\, magnetics often constrain converter efficiency and miniaturization. Piezoelectric devices offer a promising alternative to inductors and transformers\, exhibiting higher power density\, smaller form factors\, and greater efficiency at high frequency. \nThis talk will offer:  \n\nAn introduction to piezoelectric power converters\nTouching on piezoelectric device design and fabrication\nConverter topologies\nDevice nonidealities\nFuture avenues\nQ&A at the end\n\nSpeakers: \nHeather Chang and Clarissa Daniel are PhD candidates in electrical engineering at Stanford University.  They both conduct research under Professor Juan Rivas-Davila in the Stanford University Power Electronics Research (SUPER) lab on piezoelectric power converters.

SUMMARY:Impact of Elevated Voltage and Temperature on Molded Power Inductors in DC/DC converters
DESCRIPTION:Impact of Elevated Voltage and Temperature on Molded Power Inductors in DC/DC converters\nWebinar by Würth Elektronik\nTuesday\, July 29th 2025 @ 4:00PM CEST\n\n\nFor DC/DC converter applications molded inductors enable smaller footprints and lower profile due to the properties of the magnetic material. This allow the inductors to be used in more harsh environments. The higher electrical and thermal stresses over time can lead to an increase in magnetic core loss due to the degradation of the insulation between magnetic particles. \n\nWürth Elektronik defines this degradation as a percolation phenomenon. But what exactly is percolation and what are its repercussions? And more importantly\, how does it affect the long-term performance of a DC/DC converter?
