SEPIC Design Done Right
SEPIC Design Done Right
DigiKey, Analog Devices and YAGEO webinar
Wednesday, April 29, 2026, 10:00 AM CDT (1 hour)
As power architectures become more flexible and input voltages less predictable, designers face growing pressure to deliver converters that can operate reliably across wide operating ranges without adding unnecessary complexity. SEPIC converters are often the topology of choice in these scenarios, enabling non-inverting operation whether the input voltage sits above, below, or crosses the output, but achieving a robust design requires far more than selecting the right topology.
As we delve into the intricate world of SEPIC converter design, this event will focus on:
- Understanding electrical stress, ripple current, EMI, and thermal performance: Discover how these critical factors intersect and impact your design choices.
- Inductor coupling strategies and coupling capacitor behavior: Learn how these elements significantly influence efficiency, noise, and long-term reliability, often becoming the limiting factors in production designs.
- Practical design constraints and component limitations: Gain insights into how real-world conditions shape SEPIC implementations and how to navigate these challenges effectively.
- Advanced design tools: Explore the power of LTpowerCAD, LTSPICE, and the YSIM Capacitance Tool, which can elevate the precision and reliability of your designs.
