• High Efficiency & Thermal Management: Power conversion circuits (AC/DC, DC/DC) must minimize energy consumption and heat dissipation through efficient components and PCB layout, often requiring active thermal management solutions.
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Involving the manufacturer early allows for, optimizing PCB layout, component placement (SMT/THT), and trace widths to ensure reliability and reduce manufacturing costs.
• Compliance and Safety: Circuits must meet strict international standards (e.g., EU CoC Tier 2, IEC standards) to guarantee safety, particularly for medical or industrial applications.
• Reliability & Environment: Considering PCB materials (e.g., thermal expansion coefficients) to ensure long-term stability in high-vibration or extreme temperature environments.
• Form Factor and Integration: Selecting appropriate board-mount vs. brick DC/DC converters to fit specific, often compact, OEM device enclosures.
