Design of a High-Frequency Series Capacitor Buck Converter

This training will cover some of the challenges to high frequency operation today, introduce the series capacitor buck converter topology, present some experimental results demonstrating the new topology, and go through the design steps for the series cap buck converter.

Why should I take this training?

• Typical buck converters have limitations that prevent small solution sizes
• The series capacitor buck converter is a topology alternative that enables higher switching frequencies up to 2 MHz

What will I learn?

• Limitations of traditional buck converters at high frequencies
• Introduction to the series capacitor buck converter
• Design and experimental results of a high-frequency series capacitor buck converter
