The Safest, Simplest and Most Efficient SiC : Analog Devices’ SiC Smart Switch
Date: Tuesday, March 18
Time: 11:30 AM – 11:55 AM ET
Location: Level Four, A403
Analog Devices is introducing Silicon Carbide Smart Switches for high voltage power conversion applications that combine a silicon carbide power switch with an integrated driver that has both protection and telemetry. The integration offered by this solution is key to meeting customer safety and reliability needs while simultaneously providing significantly reduced complexity with maximized efficiency to enable the smallest energy conversion solutions. In addition, the cascode topology inside SiC Smart Switches provides the lowest switching losses and lowest COSS * RDS,ON product for maximum efficiency to enable the highest switching frequency in silicon carbide resonant converters. Customer adoption is made easy by the use of standard power switch packaging and therefore the mechanical assembly of power paths and cooling is unchanged compared to the legacy solution despite all of the benefits of Smart Switch. This presentation will show how the Smart Switch works and how it benefits the customer compared to a legacy, discrete SiC MOSFET solution.

Fundamentals, Models and Performance of the Boosted Coupled Inductors
Date: Wednesday March 19
Time: 1:55 PM – 2:20 PM ET
Location: Level Four, A403
Discuss some promising approaches for magnetics in multiphase DC-DC converters. As Trans-Inductor-Voltage-Regulator (TLVR) became popular, its limitations and drawbacks also became more understood. Boosted coupled inductor (BCL) was introduced to address the main TLVR problem with saturation Isat in the mutual inductance Lm. This presentation showcases the fundamentals of BCL, proposes a new BCL model, establishes BCL advantage and illustrates that with the actual measurements. This overview and comparison should be helpful for engineers that design multiphase converters, need to compare different design options and optimize the power systems.

A Concept for Current Ripple or Transient Improvements in Multiphase Converters
Date: Thursday March 20
Time: 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM ET
Location: Level One, Hall A3
Session Description: Separate coupled inductors can be linked together with secondary windings to improve the performance, similarly to a previous concept of the trans-inductor voltage regulator (TLVR). The secondary windings have an AC current, in sync with the ripple in the main power phases. It is proposed to appropriately route that already existing secondary current for the ripple cancellation at the converter output. Alternatively, the secondary AC current can be used to multiply the transient current step and therefore improve the transient performance of a voltage regulator. Experimental results confirm the benefits of the proposed concepts.
ADI's High-performance benchtop equipment delivers precise voltages and currents within ±100V and ±1A, ensuring accuracy and reliability for test and measurement. It uses machine learning for key phrase detection, converting natural language commands into tasks, and offers a hands-free experience. Processing key phrases at the edge eliminates the need for internet connectivity, reducing downtime, latency, and enhancing security.
For applications such as AI/ML with high current demand, the LTP88xx-series provides efficient, dense, scalable, and direct power solutions from 54V input to core voltages, removing the need for an intermediate bus voltage architecture. This family (LTP8802A-1B, LTP8803-1A, LTP8800-4A, LTP8800-1A, LTP8800-2) features a PMBus interface and supports a wide range of output voltages (0.5V to 3.6V) and currents (up to 200A). These devices can be easily paralleled to support higher currents, even in the 1kA to 2kA range.

Efficiency is a standout feature, with zero turn-off losses and class-leading performance.
ADI Power Tools help engineers select, design, and optimize power supplies: from complete power trees down to individual converters. Power system design is a complex multi-parameter optimization problem that can appear intractable to even seasoned engineers. Learn how ADI Power Tools assist with power tree design, converter selection, and power supply optimization and validation—with particular focus on the new LTspice 24.1 and LTpowerAnalyzer compact power lab.
ADI’s latest µModule regulators with patented silent switcher technology feature low EMI and low RMS and spot noise, eliminating the need for LC pi-filter or LDO post-filtering downstream of switching converters in noise-sensitive applications. The LTM8060F features integrated package-level EMI shielding, enabling a smaller overall solution by allowing it to be placed near noise-sensitive circuits: the DC/DC’s electric field is completely confined; the radiated magnetic field is greatly attenuated.
