Würth Elektronik Watts Up Podcast

WE are doing Throwback Thursday #TBT – For the next few weeks, we're republishing our most popular podcasts of the last year. This podcast comes from a WEbinar presented by Würth Elektronik's George Slama, Senior Application and Content Engineer. This first session covers inductors and how to specify and select the correct one. Click here to replay the Webinar on Demand or visit www.we-online.com/webinars.

WE are doing Throwback Thursday #TBT – For the next few weeks, we're republishing our most popular podcasts of the last year. In last week's broadcast, we began our discussion regarding the design of a USB but from a viewpoint of EMC considerations. We discussed the hardware and components, EMC circuitry, and the use of a USB filter. This week, we begin with the filter for DC supply.

WE are doing Throwback Thursday #TBT – For the next few weeks, we're republishing our most popular podcasts of the last year. Next up, our very popular episode, "USB Interface from an EMC POV- Part I." Today's discussion centers around the Universal Serial Bus, commonly known as USB. We'll be discussing the interface from an EMC point of view, and talk about technologies, hardware and components, PCB layout, and more.

WE are doing Throwback Thursday #TBT – We're republishing our most popular podcasts of the last year. First up, "Safe, Reliable Designs for Non-Isolated Offline Switchers with 400VDC Rated Power Inductors." Although the majority of AC offline converters and switching converters that run from hazardous voltage, include galvanic isolation for safety, there are many applications where non-isolated circuits can be used. Where mechanical isolation protects the user and service personnel from contact with hazardous voltages, or for where both input and output voltage are on the primary side of isolated converters, the buck regulator and buckboost regulators are often more efficient, use less PCB area and cost less to implement than flyback regulators.

Common mode chokes are widely used noise suppression components for a variety of applications. For a better understanding, we will explain how to properly read the main datasheet parameters and charts to find the right common mode choke for specific applications. We also demonstrate how to simulate common mode chokes using software, such as LT Spice.

MEMS based pressure sensors have gained popularity in recent years for their altimeter functionality. In today's podcast, we'll discuss the altimeter functionality of the absolute pressure sensors from Wurth Elektronik, and the built-in sensor features such as filters, offset calibration, temperature compensation, and more to help customers to implement the altimeter functionality with high accuracy.

Retrofitting industrial equipment with sensors and IP connectivity is a cost-efficient way of gaining the benefits of IIoT, like data collection and real-time monitoring, without fully replacing functioning equipment. In this podcast, based off a recent webinar, we present a IoT retrofit connectivity solutions based on the Calypso WiFi module, with the help of a live demo.

Measuring current is important to maintain safety control over circuitry. Current sense transformers also give distinct advantages when measuring circuit current. In this interview with Dean Huumala, Senior Manager with the Product Management Group at Würth Elektronik, explains the advantages and uses of current sensors.
