Power Magnetics @ High Frequency- Solving the Black Magic!
The purpose and focus of the workshop will be to identify the latest improvements in areas of magnetic materials, coil (winding) design, construction and fabrication, evaluation and characterization techniques and modelling and simulation tools so as to target the advancements that are deemed necessary by the participants for power magnetics to meet the technical expectations and requirements of higher application frequencies and emerging topologies that are being driven by continuous advances in circuits topologies, semi-conductor devices driven by new market applications. The target audience for the workshop will be the designers of power magnetic components for use in electronic power converters who find it necessary to implement the most technologically advanced power magnetic components to achieve higher power densities, specific physical aspect ratios such as low profile, higher power efficiencies, improved thermal performance etc., as well as the supply chain for the power magnetics industry ranging from manufacturers of magnetic materials and magnetic structures, fabricators of magnetic components, providers of modelling and simulation software as well as manufacturers of test and characterization equipment. The agenda of the workshop is designed so that there will be keynote presentations by invited speakers followed by question and answer forum addressing the latest trends in:
The keynote presentations will be followed by an interactive session of round robin sequencing of table top displays each addressing specific technical disciplines and capabilities consistent with the workshop agenda. The table top displays will be a combination of e-poster type displays, modelling and simulation demonstrations and measurements of actual magnetic components. Interaction between the attendees and the presenters is highly recommended during this portion of agenda as a segue from the opening keynote presentation and the following structured problem solving session. If anyone would like to participate as a presenter during the round robin display of technical capabilities please contact Matt Wilkowski at mwilkows@altera.com with a description of your proposed technical capabilities topic. The technical disciplines expected to be displayed during the round robin technical capabilities session are as follows:
The third session of the workshop will be a structured problem solving sessions. Three (3) different structured problems of general interest encompassing three (3) different power ranges with each range having it own set of electrical, physical and thermal design requirements specific to a typical application, The facilitator for each structure problem would provide a typical traditional design solution and then interact with the attendees to identify alternative approaches based on leading edge technologies and materials to improve some aspect of the original design requirements whether it be efficiency, physical size, thermal performance, etc., If anyone has an idea for a structured problem that should be addressed during the workshop please contact Matt Wilkowski at the following e-mail address: mwilkows@altera.com . The fourth and final session would be a combination wrap-up session and networking social. The first portion of the session would be identification of items to be addressed by a roadmap for the magnetics industry covering de-facto industry practices and standards and emerging trends as well as both short term goals covering incremental improvements and longer term evolutions that are on the horizon. A white board will be made available during the social networking session to allow participants to record ideas that come about during their informal discussions with their colleagues. The expected registration fee for the workshop is $200 per participant reducing to $150 for PSMA members. More details regarding the agenda for the workshop as well as registration for the workshop will become available on the PSMA website at http://www.psma.com/technical-forums/magnetics/workshop over the next few months.
