Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

Powering the Future: Why Thermal Management Defines the Future of Electronics
04/15/2026 | Brian Buyea -- Column: Powering the FutureEvery leap forward in electronics comes with a familiar consequence: heat. Whether it’s a power module driving an electric vehicle, a laser diode used in surgery, or a 5G amplifier operating in orbit, higher performance inevitably means higher temperatures. While engineers celebrate breakthroughs in speed, density, and power, none of those specifications matter if the system can’t keep cool long enough to perform reliably.

Road to Reliability: High Voltage Auxiliaries on the Road
02/04/2026 | Stanton Rak, SF Rak CompanyThus far, this series has focused on power electronics and controls that propel the vehicle. However, EVs are not solely defined by their propulsion system. While much attention is placed on inverters, traction motors, and battery cells, an ecosystem of high-voltage (HV) auxiliary systems sustains safety, comfort, and functionality. These systems, including compressors, heaters, coolant pumps, and the associated cabling, have evolved into critical components that ensure the vehicle functions reliably under a wide range of operating conditions.
