The PMU is the power management unit responsible for supplying power to the SOC, regulating voltage and current to ensure that various modules operate normally. Power integrity ensures that the Power Distribution Network (PDN) can provide stable and clean voltage and current, avoiding noise interference with the normal operation of the SOC. So what exactly … Read more
RS485 has strong anti-interference capability and low cost, making it widely used in various fields such as industrial smart instruments and communication devices. The RS485 circuit can be divided into non-isolated and isolated types. Among them, the isolated circuit adds isolation performance based on the non-isolated circuit, giving the circuit stronger anti-interference and system stability. … Read more
The RK3588 core board is a widely used 8K flagship SoC chip from Rockchip, and it is one of the domestic chips frequently used by many electronic engineers. When using the RK3588, EMC issues often arise. So, how can we reduce these EMC problems? 1. Mold Isolation Design Connectors should be recessed as much as … Read more
