What board can be used as foundation for building a power electronic converter?

The power electronic converter is for high power application. I am going to design it for a new project. Any useful advice?

You need to take power dissipation into consideration.
You must also calculate the current rating through the circuit and design the PCB track width accordingly.
The quality of the PCB material should also be considered. Low-quality PCBs would get damaged easily due to the heavy current carried by the track.
Apart from these things you should also take care of all safety features so that the circuit does not get shorted at any point if time during Power On time.

I guess Glass Epoxy PCBs give a better result than copper-clad PCBs.

How do I know whether a food safety device samples is good in quality?

I order the first one food detect device to a PCB factory, but they gave me the one in darker color than the pictures shown online. Does it often mean the PCB inside has poor quality? How can I check it?

How much space should be left between a PCB’s edge and traces and holes?

Last week, I received an email from PCB suppliers, which told that the space between traces and board edge is too small. We were required to make some adjustment on that. So do you have some suggestions on how much space should I leave?

How to find a datasheet for a part that doesn’t exist on the manufacturer’s website?

While bored recently, I decided to take apart a few old pieces of electronic equipment and attempt to reverse-engineer them. I’ve been doing pretty well, but I’ve come to an IC that I can identify but doesn’t seem to exist on the manufacturer’s website.
