Title Introduction to DC - DC Converters Presenter Dr Richard Redl Consultant Date and Venue 19-20 May 2009 iSLI, Livingston Cost £625 per person + VAT (Discounts available please enquire) Mentor Graphics Passbook = 2 Tokens per person Contact If you have any course queries, please contact Suzanne O’Hare on 01506 469303 or by emailing suzanne.ohare@sli-institute.ac.uk.
Course Aims The main objective of this two day course is to present a structured and comprehensive introduction to DC-DC converters, with emphasis on power management applications. Who Should Attend This intensive short course is aimed at circuit and system design engineers and managers with either little or no background in DC-DC converters for power management or in need of refreshing their knowledge about the topic. We have a follow up course called “Advanced topics in dc-dc power conversion.” This is currently planned to run immediately after the introduction course.
