OnTrack: The PCB Design Podcast

Altium Develop gives your entire team real-time visibility into PCB designs, supply chain data, and manufacturing feedback — so thermal and power decisions never get made in isolation: https://www.altium.com/develop?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=ontrack-podcast&utm_content=ipc-2221-vs-2152-the-truth-about-pcb-trace-current-ratings If you've ever sized a PCB trace using the IPC 2221 charts or relied on a 10°C rise rule of thumb, this episode of the OnTrack Podcast is essential viewing. Host Zach Peterson sits down with Mike Jouppi — the engineer behind IPC 2152 — to unpack decades of misunderstood standards, flawed assumptions, and what designers should actually be doing when it comes to conductor sizing and thermal management. Mike walks through the critical differences between IPC 2221 and IPC 2152, explains why the internal trace data in 2221 was never derived from actual in-board testing, and reveals how adding copper planes to your design can dramatically increase power dissipation even while keeping temperature rise "within spec." If you're designing power-carrying traces without thinking in terms of power loss budgets, this conversation will change how you approach every future layout. 👉 Resources from this episode: - High Power PCB Design: Pushing the Limits with Caleb Buck: https://youtu.be/aYi080GbV08 - Eric Bogatin on Signal Integrity, Oscilloscope Mastery & More: https://youtu.be/k88xgF8_jpk - Connect with Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-jouppi-a6547034a/ - Dive Deeper into IPC 2221: https://resources.altium.com/p/ipc-2221-calculator-pcb-trace-current-and-heating - Explore IPC 2152: https://resources.altium.com/p/using-ipc-2152-calculator-designing-standards 💡 Stay Connected: Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more in-depth tutorials and tips from @AltiumAcademy Share your thoughts and questions in the comments below! 👉 Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/@AltiumAcademy?sub_confirmation=1 Don't forget to follow us on social to stay up-to-date on the latest Altium Academy content. 👉 Follow Altium on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@altiumdesigner 👉 Follow Altium on Twitter: https://twitter.com/altium 👉 Follow Altium on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/altium/ 👉 Follow Altium on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AltiumOfficial/ The Altium Academy is an online experience created to bring modern education to PCB Designers and Engineers all across the world.

Altium Develop gives your entire electronics team — engineers, procurement, and manufacturers — real-time visibility into your PCB designs and supply chain, all in one platform: https://www.altium.com/develop?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=ontrack-podcast&utm_content=greenpak-for-automotive-reliability-integration-real-world-demos Renesas' Automotive GreenPAK is a configurable mixed-signal IC that's changing how engineers approach component integration in vehicle electronics. In this episode of the Altium OnTrack podcast, host Zach Peterson sits down with Michele Deviato, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Renesas, and Oleh Saphia, Applications Engineering Manager at Renesas, to break down what truly separates automotive-grade components from their industrial counterparts. Spoiler: it's far more than just temperature range. AEC-Q100 qualification, vibration-resistant packaging, minimum pin pitch requirements, and rigorous reliability testing all play a critical role — and GreenPAK is built to meet every one of them. Beyond the spec sheet, this episode dives into why Automotive GreenPAK is gaining rapid adoption across OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers — and even into space technology applications. Michele and Oleh walk through how GreenPAK consolidates entire boards of discrete components into a single reconfigurable IC, reducing BOM cost, board area by up to 90%, and failure rates all at once. Oleh then takes viewers through a live Go Configure Software demo, building a real LED animation circuit in minutes — no firmware required. 👉 Resources from this episode: - Dima's Previous Episode: https://youtu.be/2b4TWE5zlB4 - Learn More about Automotive GreenPAK: https://www.renesas.com/en/products/programmable-logic/greenpak-programmable-mixed-signal-products/automotive-greenpak-programmable-mixed-signal-ics - Go Configure: https://www.renesas.com/en/software-tool/go-configure-software-hub - Learn More about Renasas: https://www.renesas.com/en - Conenct with Michele: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michele-deviato/ - Connect with Oleh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oleh-sapiha-505557197/?originalSubdomain=ua 💡 Stay Connected: Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more in-depth tutorials and tips from @AltiumAcademy.
