Seminars explain how to build power supplies with high energy efficiency, excellent standby power performance and compliance with worldwide efficiency regulations.

Power Integrations is set to host a new series of technical design seminars at more than 40 locations worldwide The seminars will offer instruction on how to build power supplies with high energy efficiency, excellent standby power performance and compliance with existing and proposed power supply efficiency regulations worldwide

"Spending time with designers, passing on what we have learned and working with them to optimise power supply designs for efficiency is very important to us", says Doug Bailey, Vice President of Marketing, Power Integrations.

"Our seminars are suitable for generalist analogue engineers who want to learn how to build custom power supplies for their systems".

"The seminars are also very meaningful for experienced power supply engineers, who will come away with a deep understanding of the new TopSwitch-HX, and plenty of new ideas that they can use to optimise power delivery and efficiency in their next project".

The seminars will demonstrate best practices in power supply design using new technologies such as Power Integrations' TopSwitch-HX family of AC/DC power conversion ICs, which combine a 700V switching power MOSFET with a controller and supervisory functions into a single monolithic IC.

Delegates to the free seminars will hear how the new TopSwitch-HX enables power supply designs that easily meet proposed and existing energy standards such as CEC and Energy Star, while delivering up to 48W without the need for heatsinking (and up to 150W with a heatsink).

A new multimode control scheme provides highly efficient operation across the entire load range, potentially eliminating the need for a separate standby power supply.

Beginning in China in October, the seminars will also be held in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, the USA, Canada, Brazil, the UK, Sweden, Germany, France, Russia, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Turkey and Poland.

Full details of seminar dates and locations can be found on the Power Integrations website. Request free introductory details about products from Power Integrations ...
