PCB Reference Designs

RECOM PCB reference designs provide engineers with a fully documented starting point for specialized power electronics challenges. Unlike simple evaluation boards, a power supply reference design offers a complete, application-specific circuit—including schematics, Gerber files, and a Bill of Materials (BOM). These tools are designed to solve complex integration hurdles, such as optimizing gate drives for SiC and GaN transistors or ensuring robust isolation in CAN bus and Railway systems.

By using a DC/DC reference design, development teams can bypass the trial-and-error phase of layout design. Each power converter reference circuit is pre-tested for performance and thermal stability, ensuring that your final product meets industry standards for efficiency and reliability. Whether you are looking for a turnkey power supply reference design for IoT sensors or high-voltage industrial drivers, RECOM’s design examples provide the technical foundation needed to move from concept to production with confidence.

    • Frequently Asked Questions

    A PCB reference design is a comprehensive, pre-tested circuit layout that demonstrates how to implement a power component — such as a DC/DC converter — within a specific application. Unlike a basic datasheet, it provides a complete design package including schematics, a Bill of Materials (BOM), and Gerber files.
    While an evaluation board is a physical tool primarily used for testing and measurement, a PCB reference design is a conceptual and technical blueprint. It focuses on "system-level" integration—such as optimizing the layout for a SiC gate driver or a railway-grade power supply — which can be copied directly into your own CAD software.
    Using a DC/DC reference design allows engineers to bypass the trial-and-error phase of layout development. It helps reduce development time, minimizes costly design errors (especially regarding thermal management and EMI), and provides a proven foundation that has already been validated for performance.
    Yes. Turnkey power supply reference designs are intended to be used as production-ready starting points. While they can be adapted to fit your specific mechanical requirements, the core electrical layout is optimized for performance and can be integrated directly into your final system design.
