Technical

Design of electronic power conversion systems requires an in-depth knowledge of many areas of engineering including:-

• Power Stage Design
• High Frequency Magnetics Design
• Feedback System Design and Stability Analysis
• Low Noise PCB Layout
• EMC Compliance Including Conducted/Radiated Noise and Susceptibility
• Reliability Prediction
• Thermal Modelling
• Power Device Behaviour
• Knowledge of Relevant Safety Standards and Regulations

With BOM cost normally a driving factor, it is even more important to understand the areas above as deeply as possible to know how far cost can be reduced without affecting performance or reliability.

• Control Loop Modelling
• Custom Magnetics Design
• EMI Compliance
• Energy Efficient Design
• Hardware Prototyping
• Power Stage Design
• System Level Architecture Design
• Compensator Design
• Energy Regulations and Guidelines
• Power Stage Small Signal Modelling
• Transformer Loss Modelling
• Waveform RMS Equations
