Overview

Successful power delivery-system design can be the difference between a fully functioning, on-time project, and a product that gets to market late, with intermittent field failures due to lack of proper system-level integration. With more power subsystems “going digital,” the ability to simulate digital and/or software control subsystems with the overall system design is more critical today than ever.

In this presentation, two sample systems will be used to emphasize critical system integration techniques for power system design and analysis.

A DC-DC Buck converter design:

  • AC analysis and loop stabilization using state-averaged model
  • Switching, line and load transients analysis
  • Stress modeling and fault insertion

Half-bridge converter design:

  • Transformer modeling (reluctance-based modeling approaches)
  • Loop compensation (analog, discrete, C code)
  • PWM design (behavioral, uc1825, FPGA)

What You Will Learn

  • Techniques in power-system design that enable engineers from multiple disciplines to communicate, simulate, and optimize designs for first-pass success

  • Engineers and managers involved in mechatronic system design - particularly in rapid prototyping environments where return on tool investment is critical
Technical Instructions

Technical Requirements

What do I need to watch and hear this web seminar?

Mentor Graphics’ web seminars are delivered using Adobe Connect. To watch the seminar all you need to have installed is the Adobe Flash Player, version 8 or later on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris. The Flash Player is already installed on over 98% of internet connected computers worldwide so you will not have to install any software prior to attending the meeting. You will be able to login to the seminar room 15 minutes prior to the start time on the day of the presentation. You can hear the audio using your computer’s speakers via VoIP (Voice over IP) and background music will play prior to the beginning of the presentation.
