Even in large and powerful structures, the smallest changes can make a world of a difference, which is why ST launched new Schottky and ultrafast diodes for general, industrial, and automobile applications in SOD123Flat and SOD128Flat packages. Ignoring even the smallest details is a fatal mistake that can cause massive failures or render a design unusable. Similarly, a change of packaging still has tremendous repercussions, especially when a component appears numerous times throughout a board and designers are continually aiming to build smaller PCBs to save costs and improve reliability. Additionally, automakers must also achieve the lightest designs possible to optimize a vehicle’s performance or safety features, which requires the constant improvement of every single component present on the PCB.
