Behind the (PCB) Throne—
Power Supply Design Tips
E
Delivering the required power
to each component on a PCB

Designers have to manage con-

delivering the correct volt-
age and current to each component. A well-
designed PCB results when the designer takes
power supply seriously—paying close atten-
tion to the effects that power delivery can have
on surrounding components.
