Lecture by Harmeet Singh @ 2pm

Title: Technology Advancements in Buck Converters

Time: 2 June 2022, 2:00 pm

Venue: MMCR EE

Abstract: The D-CAP™ ( “Direct connection to the output CAPacitor”) mode control in power converters provides many attractive features, such as ease of use with no loop compensation, minimum external components, and fast transient response which reduces output capacitance and high efficiency.  In the presentation, I would talk about the advancement in the variable frequency control modes of buck converters, especially TI’s DCAP architecture.  I would also talk about how the integration of input decoupling and boot capacitors in the IC helps to solve electromagnetic interference (EMI). I will discuss how TI has been able to reduce the size of external differential and common mode EMI filters with the integration of the Active EMI filter (AEF) inside the IC.  Lastly, I will briefly touch upon the advancement w.r.t to IC package development.
