Th e designer is often faced with design constraints such as voltage regulati on\, current load\, isolation\, size\, weight\, and cost to name a few.\n\ nThat’s where power converters come in. Simply put\, power converters ar e the means of taking an input voltage and providing the desired output vo ltage\, current\, and frequency.\n\nThis entry level seminar will provide a practical introduction to the design and testing of power converters. We ’ll discuss the various types of power converters\, their typical applic ations\, and their main advantages and disadvantages. Power conversion con cepts that will be explored include:\n\n- AC vs DC inputs and outputs\n- L inear regulators vs. switching power converters\n- Common topologies\, inc luding:\no Buck Converters\no Boost Converter\no Buck-Boost Converters\no Flyback Converters\n- Theory of operation of buck & flyback converters\n- Pulse Width Modulation\n- Current mode control vs. voltage mode control\n- Power supply feedback loops\n\nAfter covering the basics of power convert ers\, this presentation will then go step by step through the design proce ss of a flyback converter.\n\nThis detailed design example will cover the motivating application\, design parameters\, component selection\, control loop compensation\, circuit board layout\, and hardware testing/results.\ n\nSpeaker(s): \, Brian\n\nAgenda: \nWe will start our meeting at 7:00 pm. For the next 15 minutes or so\, we will introduce ourselves\, handle any LICN business and do a little networking. We will then start our presentat ion.
