Vicor DC-DC Converter Theory » Presented by Marco Panizza, Manager, European Applications Engineering. Includes descriptions of the DC-DC converter power train, Maxi, Mini, Micro block diagrams, and ZCS power transfer topology. |
|
Peter Huber, Senior Field Applications Engineer, Germany provides both the theory and a step-by-step bench demonstration where he measures output ripple. He also shows a range of methods for reducing output ripple while stressing the importance of good technique. |
|
Input Overvoltage Protection » Input Overvoltage Protection, presented by Marco Panizza, Vicor's European Applications Manager, defines the types of transient overvoltage and discusses methods to generate and measure them. |
|
EMI Filtering - Getting the lowest Noise » Peter Huber, Senior Field Applications Engineer, describes the sources of current mode and differential noise. He demonstrates the effect of various filters and combinations on noise spectra, shown in the context of EN55022, Class B limits. |
|
Thermal & Mechanical Considerations » Marco Panizza, Manager, Applications Engineering, defines the terms and relationships among efficiency, heat, cooling by conduction, convection and radiation. Using these relationships, he performs the calculations to determine efficiency and thermal impedance, leading to choose a proper heat sink. |
|
Paralleling DC-DC Converters » Dave Berry, Field Applications Engineer, delineates the primary reasons for paralleling DC-DC converters: to increase power or provide fault tolerance. In that context, the value of current sharing and methods of achieving it or described. Lab demonstrations are used to visually reinforce the major points. |
|
In this video, Dave Berry presents the benefits of voltage trimming, i.e., creating non-standard output voltages and voltage controlled current sources. Trimming methods are described, and lab demonstrations are used for visual support. |
