General Manager Power Design Services Texas Instruments
The trend toward higher power density is clear. Space is limited in power-supply designs, and engineers face constant pressure to do more with less, requiring them to push the limits of density and efficiency beyond what was previously possible. But what limits designers from increasing power density today? Typically, it’s converter power losses and thermal performance. Higher power levels in smaller form factors are now possible because of innovations in packaging, integration and system level techniques. Automotive and data center applications will be covered with a focus on integrated GaN devices , isolated DC/DC bias supplies and system solutions.
