Opening Speech


1:20 to 2:00 PM

Keynote by Prof. Ho-Young Cha

This presentation summarizes technology trends in power semiconductor devices based on various semiconductor materials including silicon. Benefits and potential application areas of emerging power semiconductors will be introduced along with important technical challenges and process issues to compete with well-established silicon power devices. Outlook of current and future market positioning of different power semiconductors will be discussed.


2:00 to 2:50 PM

Workshop: Avoiding common AC-DC design pitfalls

Presented by Applications Engineering

Design-in of AC-DC front end modules can be complicated. This session will provide a straightforward approach for success, covering such topics as source impedance considerations, inrush current, filter resonance and damping, PFC, faults, fusing, system stability and safety.


2:50 to 3:05 PM

Coffee/Tea Break and Technical Booth Open


3:05 to 3:55 PM

Workshop: EMI challenges and troubleshooting techniques

Presented by Applications Engineering

Without proper consideration, EMI can derail projects and create costly delays. With a real-world troubleshooting example, you will learn about basic EMI measurement, common and differential noise sources and identification methods, conducted EMI pre-compliance testing, layout issues, etc.


3:55 to 4:45 PM

Workshop: Modular DC-DC system design done right

Presented by Applications Engineering

Real-world systems comprise more than just the DC-DC converter itself. Using a case study to examine the requirements of module integration into a DC-DC system, you will learn topics such as input and output filtering, protections, compatibility with the source and load dynamics.


4:45 to 5:35 PM

Workshop: High-performance PCB layout and thermal design techniques

Presented by Applications Engineering

Our experts will share their optimization techniques addressing the following topics: applying thermal models and simulation, PCB layout for effective thermal management, power/signal routing and integrity in high density, high current applications to minimize board losses and maximize performance.


5:35 to 6:00 PM
