Microcontroller-Based Hardware Design With Altium Designer - #2 Buck Converter

[@burntt999]

I cannot believe I found this!! This gets me so excited to make something. I finished a basic electronics course about a decade ago and gave up on trying to make anything because I was so confused… this series has cleared up so much for me.. thank you so much

[@km-electronics1]

Zach and Phil's lessons are always a pleasure to watch.

Thank you!

thank you for this great tutorial, i have a question, in the manufacturer part search when you placed directerly the Inductance, in my case, i can't click neither on download or place, when i right-click, please if you have a solution help me and thanx again .

So much easier to have a component for each value for passive components then they can be easily placed and uploaded to the bom without having to constantly change values.

Very Insightful, fairly practical. Overall Great content. Thank you once more for sharing your expertise. I do have a question dough, not so much about the content of the video but about Splitting GNDs. I want to make a project that connects to AC mains and I intend to use a Power Module Hi-Link PM03, my question is, since one side of this module is connected to AC mains and the other provides the DC converted PWR, should I split GND in this case?

[@km-electronics1]

Hi, I just attended a class by Rick Hartley on switching power supplys. He mentioned that when you have a transformer, you need to split the grounds. Otherwise, it won't perform the intended isolation. I believe this is one of the very rare cases where you need to split grounds on a PCB.

[@ricardomarques1769]

@@km-electronics1 Thanks, I am actually watching the Altium Live he did a few years ago, on " How to achieve proper Grounding... ". BTW if you don't mind, could you tell me where did you attend his class ?

[@PhilsLab]

Thank you, Ricardo! As PCBFE and Rick have stated, for transformers you should use separate grounds for isolation. I'll be making a video on GND-related topics in the near future as well.

[@maks886]

Whats up with the constant cuts?

[@anilturgutakgunes4650]

are you going to seperate gnds in this series? or where can i learn it? im open to suggestions.

[@PhilsLab]

I'm afraid not in this series. In most cases splitting grounds isn't advisable - I believe Zach Peterson has a video on GNDs in PCB design on this channel.

[@firazpeerjade]

Check for isolator ic you will get separate gnds

[@str8upkickyaindanuts289]

"What do you call the engineer who separates grounds? A customer." Rick Hartley He is the principal engineer for a signal integrity and PCB optimization company, so it's safe to say he knows what he's talking about. They have a presentation from him on here.

@@PhilsLab i know, i actually watched that video this morning. i think, i have to believe Zach Peterson. Thank you for all.
