    micromachines Article Utilising Commercially Fabricated Printed Circuit Boards as an Electrochemical Biosensing Platform Uroš Zupanˇciˇc,Joshua Rainbow , Pedro Estrela and Despina Moschou * Centre for Biosensors, Bioelectronics and Biodevices (C3Bio), Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, University of Bath, Claverton Down, Bath BA2 7AY, UK; [email protected] (U.Z.); [email protected] (J.R.); [email protected] (P.E.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-(0)-1225-383245 Abstract: Printed circuit boards (PCBs) offer a promising platform for the development of electronics- assisted biomedical diagnostic sensors and microsystems. The long-standing industrial basis offers distinctive advantages for cost-effective, reproducible, and easily integrated sample-in-answer-out diagnostic microsystems. Nonetheless, the commercial techniques used in the fabrication of PCBs produce various contaminants potentially degrading severely their stability and repeatability in electrochemical sensing applications. Herein, we analyse for the first time such critical technological considerations, allowing the exploitation of commercial PCB platforms as reliable electrochemical sensing platforms. The presented electrochemical and physical characterisation data reveal clear evidence of both organic and inorganic sensing electrode surface contaminants, which can be removed using various pre-cleaning techniques. We demonstrate that, following such pre-treatment rules, PCB-based electrodes can be reliably fabricated for sensitive electrochemical

  • Best Practices for Board Layout of Motor Drivers
    Application Report SLVA959A–November 2018–Revised January 2019 Best Practices for Board Layout of Motor Drivers .................................................................................................................. Motor Drive Business Unit ABSTRACT PCB design of motor drive systems is not trivial and requires special considerations and techniques to achieve the best performance. Power efficiency, high-speed switching frequency, low-noise jitter, and compact board design are few primary factors that designers must consider when laying out a motor drive system. Texas Instruments' DRV devices are ideal for such type of systems because they are highly integrated and well-equipped with protection circuitry. The goal of this application report is to highlight the primary factors of a motor drive layout when using a DRV device and provide a best practice guideline for a high performance solution that reduces thermal stress, optimizes efficiency, and minimizes noise in a motor drive application.

Using Embedded Resistor Emulation and Trimming to Demonstrate Measurement Methods and Associated Engineering Model Development* PHILLIP A.M.SANDBORN AND PETER A.SANDBORN CALCE Electronic Products and Systems Center, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA.E-mail: [email protected] Embedded resistors are planar resistors that are fabricated inside printed circuit boards and used as an alternative to discrete resistor components that are mounted on the surface of the boards.The successful use of embedded resistors in many applications requires that the resistors be trimmed to required design values prior to lamination into printed circuit boards.This paper describes a simple emulation approach utilizing conductive paper that can be used to characterize embedded resistor operation and experimentally optimize resistor trimming patterns.We also describe a hierarchy of simple modeling approaches appropriate to both college engineering students and pre-college students that can be verified with the experimental results, and used to extend the experimental trimming analysis.The methodology described in this paper is a simple and effective approach for demonstrating a combination of measurement methods, uncertainty analysis, and associated engineering model development.

  • Guidelines for Using ST's MOSFET Smd Packages
    AN1703 APPLICATION NOTE GUIDELINES FOR USING ST’S MOSFET SMD PACKAGES R.Gulino 1. ABSTRACT The trend from through-hole packages to low-cost SMD-applications is marked by the improvement of chip technologies. "Silicon instead of heatsink" is therefore possible in many cases. Many applications today use PCBs assembled with SMD-technologies, the emphasis being on Power ICs in SMD packages mounted on single-sided PCBs laminated on one side. The printed circuit board (PCB) itself becomes the heatsink. In early fabrications a solid heatsink was either screwed or clamped to the power package. It was easy to calculate the thermal resistance from the geometry of the heatsink. In SMD-technology, this calculation is much more difficult because the heat path must be evaluated: chip (junction) - lead frame - case or pin - footprint - PCB materials (basic material, thickness of the laminate) - PCB volume - surroundings. As the layout of the PCB is a main contributor to the result, a new technique must be applied. Surface mount board layout is a critical portion of the total design. The footprint for the semiconductor packages must be the correct size to ensure proper solder connection interface between the board and the package. The power dissipation for a SMD device is a function of the drain pad size, which can vary from the minimum pad size for soldering to a pad size given for maximum power dissipation. The measurements achieved on SMD packages for different drain pad size show that by increasing the area of the drain pad the power dissipation can be increased. Although one can achieve improvements in power dissipation with this method, the tradeoff is to use valuable board area.
