About this course

This class provides an in-depth look at how PCB layout affects the performance of power converters, tailored for participants with basic knowledge of the topic. Attendees will learn how PCB layout influences efficiency, power loss, noise, stability, emissions, and regulatory compliance. The class will identify common layout challenges and present effective solutions, along with key layout techniques for power converters. To reinforce these concepts, a non-isolated buck converter will be used as a detailed design/layout example, showcasing best practices and contrasting them with common issues found in sub-optimal designs. This class will equip participants with the knowledge and skills to optimize PCB layouts for improved converter performance.

Prerequisites:

Basic knowledge of switch-mode power power supply fundamentals
