When: Thurs., November 21, 2019
Time: 10:00AM - 1:00PM (Including Lunch)
Where: Teledyne LeCroy
765 Sycamore Dr.
Milpitas, CA 95035
Abstract:
We will start by providing an understanding of Switched Mode Power Supplies, with a focus on understanding the basics of both AC-DC, and DC-DC converters. The building blocks of the converters will be explained. Attendees will leave with an intuitive understanding of how the circuits work.
The seminar also covers the measurements of interest for designers of switch-mode power conversion circuits and devices. We will review the acquisition of voltage and current, their relationship in switch-mode power conversion circuits, and the analysis of power device switching losses, conduction losses, safe operating area, and dynamic on-resistance.
Applications and Analysis Covered:
