DESCRIPTION:[]\n\nWhen designing an electronic product\, one of the areas t
 hat often gives the designer trouble is how to properly provide power for 
 it. The designer is often faced with design constraints such as voltage re
 gulation\, current load\, isolation\, size\, weight\, and cost to name a f
 ew.\n\nThat’s where power converters come in. Simply put\, power convert
 ers are the means of taking an input voltage and providing the desired out
 put voltage\, current\, and frequency.\n\nThis entry level seminar will pr
 ovide a practical introduction to the design and testing of power converte
 rs. We’ll discuss the various types of power converters\, their typical 
 applications\, and their main advantages and disadvantages. Power conversi
 on concepts that will be explored include:\n\n- AC vs DC inputs and output
 s\n- Linear regulators vs. switching power converters\n- Common topologies
 \, including\n- Buck Converters\n- Boost Converters\n- Buck-Boost Converte
 rs\n- Flyback Converters\n\n- Theory of operation of buck &amp; flyback conver
 ters\n- Pulse Width Modulation\n- Current mode control vs. voltage mode co
 ntrol\n- Power supply feedback loops\n\nAfter covering the basics of power
  converters\, this presentation will then go step by step through the desi
 gn process of a flyback converter.\n\nThis detailed design example will co
 ver the motivating application\, design parameters\, component selection\,
  control loop compensation\, circuit board layout\, and hardware testing/r
 esults.\n\nSpeaker(s): Brian King\n\nAgenda: \n7:00 PM Networking and Anno
