Power tutorials on cd

1 min read

Vicor has launched the first in a series of 'Power Techtorial' cds, which it says can provide support throughout the power systems design process.

Each cd serves as a one on one tutorial, containing technical presentations and lab demos. The tutorials address everyday technical issues on power system design topics, providing engineers with practical advice for solving design challenges that arise in a range of applications. The interactive cd contains links to the Internet for access to product datasheets, related articles and application notes. Volume one contains three videos covering the following topics: 'Vicor dc-dc converter theory overview'; 'Improving output filtering' and 'Input overvoltage protection'. Engineers who sign up to receive the first cd will be able to suggest topics to be covered in future editions and will also have the opportunity to ask presenters a question. Volume two will be available in the second half of the year and will include topics such as 'Improving EMI filtering' and 'Thermal considerations'. The cds will also be complimented by further free educational initiatives such as webcasts covering various topics including EMI filtering. A copy of the CD can be obtained from the Vicor website.
