Join ST and Würth Elektonik workshop to learn how to design an efficient offline auxiliary power supply for low-medium output power with proper component selection.

STMicroelectronics & Würth Elektronik invite you to this hands-on workshop that will examine the theory, component selection and PCB layout to ensure the best design for the following topologies:

• Low-power buck topology for mains applications
• Medium-power quasi-resonant flyback topology for power converters

Discover how eDesignSuite, ST’s easy-to-use on-line design tool, helps you rapidly select and determine the optimal configuration for your power management design; reducing your final cost and improving your time to market.

Benefits you will take away

• Technical overview of buck and quasi-resonant flyback topologies
• Live session using eDesignSuite to analyze the impact of various components on circuit voltages and currents to determine the best design for your application
• Live session using an oscilloscope to observe waveforms in real-time to study circuit voltages and currents and how they affect your application
•  Tips and tricks to ensure the best PCB layout for your application
