SIMPLIS Magnetics Design Module - Application: LLC Design

This webinar will show how the Magnetics Design Module (MDM) can be used in the context of a real-world LLC converter design example. It will start by going through part of the design process of an actually manufactured 600W DC-DC LLC converter board, using MDM to demonstrate the advantages of the final design choices compared to the initial design. Further possible variations of the designs of the resonant inductor and transformer of the LLC converter will then be explored, along with their impact on converter performance. Trade-offs, such as cost vs. efficiency, will be examined. It will be shown how even in situations where the "right" magnetics design seems apparent from the application constraints and designer experience, MDM can be used to quickly evaluate many alternatives and "what ifs" straightforwardly and quickly, giving immediate insight into the impact of different design choices not only on the magnetics, but on the whole system.
