PCIM 2023 Seminar

Magnetic Design for Very High Efficiency and Power Density

Schedule: May 7, 2023 2:00 – 5:30 PM (GMT+2)

Place: Arvena Park Hotel, Nürnberg

The tremendous progress in semiconductor technology moved the spotlight for very high efficiency quest towards the magnetics. A study of the loss mechanism in the magnetics and ways to improve it, together with Novel magnetic structures will be presented. The

seminar will present in detail all the parasitic elements in the magnetics, the loss

mechanism associated with it and solutions in addressing them. This section will be also highlighted with design examples in application wherein the power conversion efficiency reached 99%. Another section of the seminar will be dedicated to magnetic integration. It will start with Quasi-Integrated Magnetic wherein the main transformer becomes a partial energy storage reducing the size of the output filter. This concept can lead to great

optimization of the power train efficiency. The presentation will continue with the

“multi-legged” magnetic configuration, which is the latest magnetic technology today,

referred also as “ultra-planar” magnetic. Other forms of distributed magnetic structures

will be presented, some of them in power converters with the highest power density and lowest profile on the market. Another chapter is dedicated to wireless magnetic

structures, with experimental data and examples ranging from power level of 10W to

1KW wireless applications. Very informative for engineers working on increasing the

efficiency and power density in high power chargers in Automotive power converters to the ultra-high-density AC-DC adapters.

Who should attend?

Electrical engineers, magnetic engineers, and engineering managers in the power

conversion for Automotive, Industrial and Consumer field. Students in power electronics are also welcomed.
