Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

New Power Management Chips from TI Maximize Protection, Density and Efficiency for Modern Data Centers
March 24, 2025 | Texas InstrumentsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Texas Instruments (TI) debuted new power-management chips to support the rapidly growing power needs of modern data centers. As the adoption of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence (AI) increases, data centers require more power-dense and efficient solutions. TI's new TPS1685 is the industry's first 48V integrated hot-swap eFuse with power-path protection to support data center hardware and processing needs. To simplify data center design, TI also introduced a new family of integrated GaN power stages, the LMG3650R035, LMG3650R025and LMG3650R070, in industry-standard TOLL packaging. TI is showcasing these devices at the 2025 Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC), March 16-20, in Atlanta, Georgia.
"With data centers increasingly demanding more energy, powering the world's digital infrastructure begins with smarter, more efficient semiconductors," said Robert Taylor, general manager, Industrial Power Design Services. "While advanced chips drive AI's computational power, analog semiconductors are key to maximizing energy efficiency. Our latest power-management innovations are enabling data centers to reduce their environmental footprint while supporting the growing needs of our digital world."
Reach power levels beyond 6kW with intelligent system protection
As power demands surge, data center designers are shifting to 48V power architectures for enhanced efficiency and scalability to support components such as CPUs, graphics processing units and AI hardware accelerators. TI's 48V stackable integrated hot-swap eFuse with power-path protection empowers designers to tackle high-power (>6kW) processing needs with a scalable device that simplifies design and reduces solution size by half compared to existing hot-swap controllers in the market.
