Wurth Electronics UK are inviting you to join them for their FREE event, Powering the World of Electronics 2022, which will be taking place at the National Conference Centre in Birmingham on Monday 10th October 2022.
Field Application Engineers from Wurth Electronics, as well as Engineers from Rohde & Schwarz, will present on a number of topics with a mix of theoretical examples and live demonstrations of the technology in action. This will include power converter practical design considerations, tools and tips, power modules and test instruments, as well as an introduction to Wurth Electronics’ free REDEXPERT tool.
The first topic to be presented is Non-Isolated DC/DC Topologies & Practical Design Considerations. The aim of this session is to go beyond the basic operation of Buck, Boost and SEPIC converters and discuss Practical Design considerations and tips. This includes maximum power theorem, SEPIC leakage inductance, Current Mode Control IC parameters, a root cause analysis of converter audible noise and more. LT Spice simulations will also be used to investigate behaviour and performance of input filtering and impact on stability.
Second to be discussed is Power Integrity and EMI Measurement & Suppression. This session includes a live demo of a practical converter design. This is used to highlight good and bad design practice. The importance of using the right type/quality of test equipment to identify signal and noise, including which instruments can be used for EMC debugging, Time Domain vs Frequency Domain measurements, what accessories are really needed and also how to qualify EMC during the development cycle with oscilloscopes.
The third presentation topic is MAGI3C Power Modules, giving a brief overview of the technology including advantages and key features, ranges of specs and how to select the right module for you. This is followed by a presentation of voltage and current regulated modules’ evaluation boards and reference designs. LED driver, current sharing interleaved topology and bench power supply are some of the reference designs which will be looked at.
Next to be presented is Isolated DC/DC Topologies, Practical Design Considerations and Power Transformer Selection. This will investigate flyback converters, design equations for CCM and DCM (including design examples based on different ICs), power transformer selection and LT Spice simulations. This session also includes a practical demonstration as well as design considerations and tips for different ICs. Key R&S Oscilloscope features and capabilities will be demonstrated as part of this practical session to highlight the latest and greatest in Oscilloscope technology.
The final presentation will be Power Converter Design & Measurement Tools. This will take a look at overviews of various IC Houses’ power converter design tools, the dos and don’ts of these tools, as well as useful features. It’ll also include a guide to Wurth Electronics’ REDEXPERT tool (including how to optimise passive components selection) and utilising the R&S Oscilloscope software for EMC based measurements as a test receiver. This section will round off with a practical session, demonstrating key R&S Oscilloscope features and capabilities.
This is a great opportunity to tap into the knowledge of these engineers. The design support they can offer is invaluable to anybody who may be looking at selecting and optimising their power converter topology or interested in the practical considerations as part of their product designs.
Each attendee will receive a FREE copy of Wurth Electronics’ ABC of Capacitors, along with a bag of goodies.
All attendees will be entered into a raffle for a prize draw to win a range of prizes, including Wurth Electronics UK demo boards, reference guides and development kits!
Coffees and lunch will be provided at the venue.
