Ferrite Beads for Ringing Control
September 02, 2021 16:00 - 14 minutes - 19.3 MBRinging is a common term that refers to the undesired oscillation which happens when a power semiconductor switch turns on or off in the presence of parassitic inductance and capacitance. In this podcast, learn how ferrite beads placed in series with the bootstrap pin of buck regulators can make excellent ringing control components, and when applied properly they can be used to treat the source of the high frequency noise without taking up too much PCB area.

Safe, Reliable Designs for Non-Isolated Offline Switchers with 400VDC Rated Power Inductors
June 03, 2021 16:00 - 22 minutes - 30.3 MBAlthough the majority of AC offline converters and switching converters that run from hazardous voltage, include galvanic isolation for safety, there are many applications where non-isolated circuits can be used. Where mechanical isolation protects the user and service personnel from contact with hazardous voltages, or for where both input and output voltage are on the primary side of isolated converters, the buck regulator and buckboost regulators are often more efficient, use less PCB area...
