Power Electronics webinar series
Series of three webinars on understanding and making use of saturated inductors for switched-mode power supply design
Saturated inductors can enable size and weight reduction of switched-mode power supplies, if their behavior is well understood and they are selected in the right way. We will be talking on the fundamental concepts, models and methods of designing switched-mode power supplies.
Inductor saturation influences the behavior of the control loop of switched-mode power supplies and has to be considered during control design. We will be discussing measurement techniques for capturing saturation effects. These effects of inductors can influence EMI and are therefore often avoided. You will be learning models and tools facilitating the selection of minimum size filter inductors fitting multi-objective specifications such as noise spectrum attenuation, stability, losses, size, and part count.
Experimental measurements will illustrate the theory, techniques and methods we will be discussing.
