Motor Driver PCB Layout Guidelines

Motor Driver PCB Layout Guidelines

The motor driver IC transmits a large amount of current while dissipating a significant amount of electrical energy. Typically, energy is dissipated into the copper areas of the printed circuit board (PCB). To ensure sufficient cooling of the PCB, special PCB design techniques are required. This article provides some general recommendations for PCB design of … Read more
