Imagine hundreds of power design engineers on a golf course. It could happen next week in Palm Springs. Hard to concentrate to hit a golf ball when there is a major power conference going on.

And it's much easier to concentrate on what TI is showing at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) 2010. Come by the booth #502 to enter to win a DLP Pico projector. Several technology demonstrations focused on energy, innovative power management and LED lighting. Check back next week for videos.

 

Demos include:

  • LED backlighting and streetlight
  • Green energy
    • Notebook 90-W adapter with buck PFC controllers
    • Notebook 25-W adapter EVM with universal AC input, quasi resonant fly back controller and secondary side 5V controller
  • Solar energy 300-W microinverter
  • AC/DC and DC/DC conversion
    • AC/DC server telecommunications: bridgeless PFC + phase-shifted full bridge or LLC
    • Isolated DC/DC EVM from 48-V to point-of-load
    • Digital power for point-of-load
    • Dual Cool™ NexFET™ power MOSFETs
    • TPS54620 – world’s smallest 6-A buck regulator
  • Contactless power – bqTESLA™ development kit for wireless charging
