We keep hearing about India becoming an electronics powerhouse…

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭: assembly will not take us there.

If 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 build world-class electronics hardware that survives railways, defence, energy, industrial environments, extreme temperatures, vibration, EMI/EMC chaos, then 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐃𝐅𝐌) has to move from an afterthought to a core design philosophy.

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥.

Over the last few years, we’ve seen the same patterns repeat:

• brilliant ideas…but poor manufacturability

• fast prototyping…but no compliance planning

• beautiful PCB layouts…but impossible to test at scale

• great firmware…but written with “code-first” shortcuts

• hardware that works in the lab…but dies in the field

𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭.

𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝.

What we don’t yet have is a 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐅𝐌-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞.

In our latest article, we break down—practically and honestly—what it takes to design electronics in India that are globally competitive:

🔹 India-specific DFM bottlenecks no one addresses

🔹 Why startups lose months because of overlooked manufacturing constraints

🔹 PCB + enclosure realities in India

🔹 How to plan compliance before layout

🔹 What good firmware architecture actually looks like for scalable hardware

🔹 A real example: Embedded + IoT gateway design flow

🔹 A complete DFM workflow you can actually implement

Diodes DPC6137 series 10 Mbps photocouplers provide a simple solution for isolated signaling in industrial and computer applications.

Inside are two chips, an IR diode and an open-collector Schottky-clamped phototransistor with a high current transfer ratio (CTR), providing a 5,000 V isolation rating between the two die.

Designing a reliable PLC system isn’t just about the CPU or I/O modules, it’s about surviving the chaos of real industrial power.

Overvoltage, undervoltage, surge events, inrush current, reverse polarity…One mistake (or one loose screw terminal) can take an entire system down.

A new TI reference design shows how integrating protection + backup power can simplify PLC, DCS, and PAC designs while keeping them running through power dips, ESD, burst pulses, and short outages.

If you're building industrial controllers or automation hardware, this architecture is worth understanding.

If both s and r inputs of a nor-based rs flip-flop are set to logic-1, the flip-flop is said to be in _____.

a.) set mode
b.) reset mode
c.) memory mode
d.) illegal mode

Comment your answer.

Answer given here https://www.electronicsforu.com/technology-trends/learn-electronics/flip-flop-rs-jk-t-d

Hint: This input condition is undefined and not allowed.

Flip-Flop in digital electronics is a circuit with two stable states, used to store binary data. We explained its 4 types, truth table, and uses.

𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐛...They fail long before that!

You can pick the “right” chip, follow the datasheet, copy a reference design…and still end up with a product that overheats, drops packets, fails certification, or dies in the field.

Why?

Because wireless design has landmines 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭:

◾ Choosing the wrong MCU/MPU for the job

◾ SoC vs module decisions made on gut, not requirements

◾ Antennas added as an afterthought

◾ RF layout that looks okay but fails at 2.4 GHz

◾ Power rails that silently break RF performance

◾ Certification surprises that appear when it’s too late

If you’re building anything wireless, the real challenge isn’t the technology, it’s knowing which choices actually matter.

We broke down the entire process, step-by-step, in a way engineers rarely get to see.

As rack power continues to climb, PSU design is becoming a significant engineering challenge. We recently examined a 12 kW reference design that demonstrates how today’s high-density AI hardware is being powered.

What’s interesting is how it combines wide-bandgap devices, multi-level PFC, and high-frequency LLC conversion to hit extremely high efficiency while shrinking the overall size.

There’s even a built-in energy buffer that reduces the need for bulky capacitors and handles grid transients more gracefully.

If you’re working in power electronics, the architecture is worth understanding—it hints at where next-gen AI and data-centre PSUs are heading.

👉 Full breakdown here: https://www.electronicsforu.com/electronics-projects/12-kw-power-supply-unit-reference-design

The design showcases how wide-bandgap devices, multi-level PFC and high-frequency LLC conversion can deliver record efficiency and compactness for next-generation AI servers and data-centre racks.
