Foreword
It is with great pleasure I welcome you to our celebration
Surrounded by big wind farms Palm Springs, the 2010
host city, is the ideal location for APEC. With over 100
golf courses, Palm Springs is often referred to as the “golf
capitol of the world”. Beside golf and excellent shopping
and dining options, art is the big attraction in the Palm
Springs area. There are over a hundred galleries to
choose from and many are widely recognized for their
ability to showcase the ‘up and coming’ in the art world.
If you are a fan of nature, the options are unlimited.
Ascending 8,000 feet in the world’s largest rotating
tramcars you will reach an entirely different world with
incredible views at forty degrees lower temperature.
Great hiking, cross country skiing are among your
options. I would encourage you to take advantage of
these great opportunities while here.
Finally, APEC 2010 has been made possible by
tremendous support from our sponsors, organizing
and steering committee members, volunteers, and
reviewers. I would like to take this opportunity and thank
each and every one of you.

Plenary Session
Special Presentation Sessions
This being the 25th Anniversary of APEC, we felt it
appropriate for this year’s theme to be, “The History and
Future of Power”. In retrospect, we will look back to the
original 1986 APEC, with a focus on the key milestones
of our industry’s rich heritage. Additionally, looking
forward to the power needs of the growing internet, we
will discuss the efficiency needs of our world with a focus
on electric vehicles, solar power, and nanotechnology
that can facilitate power at the nano-scale. APEC 2010
Plenary is designed to cover the history of power,
the current needs in energy efficiency and the future
possibilities. Come see where Power technology has
been, and where it is heading.
A couple of years ago APEC introduced the Special
Presentation Sessions. Speakers were invited to make a
presentation only without submitting a formal manuscript
for the APEC Proceedings. This allowed APEC to present
information on current topics in power electronics from
sources that would not otherwise present at APEC.
These sessions have been very popular. The target
audience for these sessions differs from the engineers
in typical technical sessions and may include business
oriented people such as purchasing agents, information
technologists, regulatory agencies, and other people
who support the power electronics industry.
Professional Education Seminars
APEC is the premier event in applied power electronics.
The APEC program addresses a broad range of topics
in the use, design, manufacture and marketing of all
kinds of power electronics equipment. If you are in the
power electronics business, here is why you should
make APEC a regular part of your career development:
The combination of high quality professional education
seminars, a full program of refereed papers and an
overflowing Exhibit Hall consistently provides an
invaluable education each year. The value of APEC to
working power electronics professional is shown by the
ever growing number of participants.

Technical Sessions
APEC Industry professionals just like you participated in
a rigorous peer review process and have carefully picked
210 papers making up APEC’s Technical Sessions. This
process eliminates the commercial content from the
technical sessions, and provides the highest quality
possible. The technical program includes papers of
broad appeal scheduled for oral presentation from
Tuesday morning to Thursday afternoon. Papers with
a more specialized focus are available for discussion
with authors at the Dialogue Sessions on Thursday at
11:30 am. The various technical venues cover all areas
of technical interest to the practicing power electronics
professional. The papers are sure to give you many new
design ideas that you can return home with and apply to
your work immediately.

EMI/EMC
S.1 Controlling Conducted and Radiated EMI
Issues in Power Electronics Designs
Supratim Basu, Bose Research (P) Ltd.
Primrose B
While management of EMI in Power Electronics design
has always not been very straightforward, today’s
demand for power converters having higher power densities and efficiencies makes EMI management even
more challenging. While higher power densities make
the converter’s EMI filter very susceptible to internal
fields, demands for fast switching speeds of switching
devices to minimize switching losses and improve efficiency, also increases EMI significantly. Thus as higher
power densities and efficiencies driving today’s designs
conflict with the general rules of EMI management, the
general design approach of using the best highest inductance filter after completing design often usually never
works, resulting in significant project delays. Therefore
understanding the generation of EMI and its reduction at
source during design, is the key to controlling EMI.
This intermediate to advanced level course will begin
with a refresh on EMI basics followed by an in-depth
treatment of various topics like heat-sink grounding,
transformer screens, using ferrite beads, filter design,
PCB layout, Mosfet switching speed, etc. Lastly the
focus of this presentation is to present everything with
as many practical engineering examples as possible
and thus have a mix of both practice and theoretical
explanations and not focus only on field/wave theory or
physics.
Renaissance Madera
GaN on Si based power conversion has received a lot
of recent public notice and has been positioned as a
“next generation” solution to provide sustained dramatic
improvement in switch performance at a time when
silicon power transistors are approaching some physical
limits in performance. This seminar is directed towards
the intermediate to advanced level audience of power
design engineers, systems engineers, component engineers and power design managers. Seminar attendees
will witness GaN power conversion in a host of applications from point of load to PFC and will be brought up
to date on the progress GaN on Si has made from prototypes to products. Modeled and actual performance
benefits will be studied. The observant student will walk
away educated on the current benefits and future prospects of GaNpowIR conversion.
Prof. Education Seminars

APEC strives to offer seminars with a practical
mix of theory and application for the professional
working in power electronics. APEC 2010 features
18 professional education seminars with a broad
range of topics.
Devices & Materials
S.2 Current State and Future Improvements of
GaN Based Power Conversion
Tim McDonald, International Rectifier
Simulation/CAD
S.3. Virtual Prototyping of Power Supply Designs
Thomas Wilson, Simplis Technologies, Inc.
Mesquite C
The rising cost of failure coupled with the falling cost of
simulation produces compelling benefits for the creation
of virtual prototypes to verify designs of new power supplies before initial hardware builds.
This seminar provides practical guidance on how the
use of circuit simulation can improve real world design
verification processes and reduce the number of design
errors that get committed to hardware. By focusing
heavily on real-time demonstrations and comparison of
simulation results with measured lab data, this seminar
will focus on practical detail valuable to both experts and
engineers just beginning to incorporate simulation into
their design processes.
The Virtual Design Verification process is explored from
three perspectives, that of the Power Supply designer,
the Controller IC architect and the Power System
designer.
Leveraging the advantages of Piecewise Linear (PWL)
analysis, practical simulation test suites will be discussed
including Line and Load Regulation, AC Analysis (Bode
Plots, Input and Output Impedance), Step Line and Load
Transients, and critical Device Losses and Stresses.
This presentation seeks to balance practical “how to”
information with big picture “why bother” examples.
While the primary simulation engine used in these

examples is SIMPLIS, the presentation is neither a
sales pitch nor a “how to push the buttons” demonstration. Rather, practical examples of real circuits will be
used to discuss the range of critical factors that must be
addressed in order to use simulation to provide breakthrough value in the day-to-day design and qualification
of switching power supplies.
Renaissance Catalina
Switch Mode Power Supplies are widely used in nowadays equipments, ranging from a few tens of watts in
consumer applications to several hundred of watts and
above in industrial applications. Despite the various
architectures found in this field, they all share the need
for a control circuit that maintains one or several delivered variables within a defined range. The compensator
is the place where the designer will place the poles and
zeros to shape the loop frequency response and ensure
stability over the entire operating range. Depending on
the selected controller, the available active element to
perform the compensation can be an operational amplifier, a transconductance amplifier (OTA) or a TL431.
Unfortunately, available textbooks solely focus on the
first type, leaving both the TL431 and the OTAs apart
despite their popularity in the power electronics field.
Targeting practicing engineers and graduating students,
this seminar describes how to efficiently compensate a
power converter using an operational amplifier, an OTA
or a TL431. All compensator types such as 1, 2 and 3
are covered in great details, with design examples used
as a support. The seminar starts by teaching how to
optimally select the crossover frequency and the phase
margin in relationship with your design specifications.
The presentation then shows what poles and zeros are
and how they must be placed to precisely shape your
compensator response. At the end of the presentation, the audience will have a complete description of
the three compensators types implemented with the op
amp, the OTA or the TL431. Using mathematical analysis and SPICE, the author maintains a permanent link
between what theory dictates and what the market reality is. Up to four design examples are used to apply the
theory described in the presentation.

The updated seminar will present a comprehensive
overview of the latest trends in magnetic technology. In
the quest for higher power densities and higher efficiency, the magnetic structures have evolved continuously
and some new concepts have emerged. The main goal
of the seminar is to underline some progress made in
magnetic technology and to place some light in potential
developments in the future.
The seminar will not be focused only on magnetic as an
isolated component but as part of the power converter
design which also includes the topology, packaging and
even the control. There will be presented many forms of

S.6 Power Electronics in Battery Powered
Applications: Safety, Charging, and
Power Conversion
Jinrong Qian, Texas Instruments
Renaissance Pasadena
Power Electronics has played a very important role in
battery powered devices. Battery power management
continues to be significant issues for a wide range of
portable devices. “How can I charge the battery faster,
make the system run longer, and use the battery energy
more efficiently?” has plagued designers and users. This
seminar addresses the issues surrounding battery power management and how battery management power
electronics smartly monitors the battery, efficiently use
the battery energy, and extends the battery runtime.
The seminar balances analytical aspects and real case
examples to show how to design a stable power supply.
It targets an audience with an intermediate background
in the presented subject.
The first part of the presentation provides the battery
electrical behavior, charging and discharging characteristics, cycle life, and safety protections including
over-charging, over temperature, over-current and short
circuit in battery packs. It also includes how battery electronics improves the battery safety.

The third part of the presentation is to talk about the new
industry charging standards, review the battery charging system architecture, interaction between system and
charger. Dynamic Path Management (DPM) technology is going to be presented to maximize use of the AC
adapter power while charging the battery and supplying
the system simultaneously. Both bus-voltage based and
input-current based DPM battery charging architectures
and implementation will be presented. Then, we will
present how to efficiently the power from the USB port
to charge the battery faster and support USB On-TheGo applications with a 3 MHz synchronous switching
battery charger, practical switching mode chargers and
their control integrated circuits (ICs) are going to be presented for portable devices.
The fourth part of the seminar will talk about how to
improve the light load efficiency in DC-DC converter.
Particularly, Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) and low
power saving mode are used to reduce the switching
frequency and minimize the quiescent power dissipation
for improving battery standby time. Then we will present voltage scaling technique to dynamically adjust the
CPU core voltage in DC-DC converters, and some practical implementations and test results will be provided.
To minimize the size and improve the power density,
6MHz DC-DC converter will be discussed. Finally, High
integration Power management ICs (PMICs) are also
discussed for further minimizing the total solution size
and improving system efficiency for extending the battery runtime.
This seminar is structured to provide in-depth coverage
of the topics of the power electronics in battery powered
applications, and is intended for the audience from entry
level to intermediate experience level.

scientific and engineering principles of EMI generation,
coupling mechanisms, EMI avoidance, and EMI reduction techniques and to provide the engineer with very
specific practical information that he can use to accomplish low noise power supply designs. Circuit synthesis
methods that can be used to form new power supply
topologies with improved EMC compared to standard
well known topologies will be presented. New simple
circuit topologies with EMC and efficiency advantages
will be described. An exhaustive review of the many typical EMI problem areas is provided and proven methods
are described to avoid those problem areas. PWB layout
techniques and techniques applicable to construction,
component design, circuit and component placement,

The second part is going focused on how to monitor
the battery remaining capacity for extending battery run
time. Too early shutdown the system will not fully use
the energy from the battery for low accuracy fuel gauge.
High accuracy fuel gauge is the same important as the
power conversion efficiency. We are going to review the
most commonly used monitoring approaches: coulomb
counting, voltage measurement based and 99% accuracy impedance track based fuel gauges. System side
fuel gauge along with the design challenges will be discussed in detail.

The impact of testing processes on reliability is covered,
including sample size versus production yield statistics.
Metal whiskers can affect reliability. This tells where they
occur, and how to mitigate them. Corona is reviewed,
with a discussion of how it’s a factor in high voltage and
high-density lower voltage supplies, with steps to prevent
/eliminate it. Future reliability trends are the final subject
matter, with a number of areas presented, including the
new IPC-9592 Standard, along with prognostics. Numerous pictures, graphs, and charts are used to support and
clarify points made during the presentation.
This seminar will be an in-depth discussion of characteristics and application of silicon carbide (SiC) 1200
V, 20 A DMOSFETs from the experienced user’s perspective. The SiC DMOSFET has the advantages of
low conduction and switching loss along with higher
operating temperature capability. However, the operating characteristics of this device are different from what
is usually expected from Si MOSFETs super-junction
MOSFETs, and IGBTs. The chief purpose of this seminar is to provide an understanding of these differences
so that the SiC DMOSFET can be applied to its fullest
potential. This will be achieved by a discussion of the
operating characteristics of the SiC DMOSFET and
how they differ from representative Si MOSFETs and
IGBTs. This will include comparisons between DC output characteristics, forward conduction, transfer curves,
leakage current, gate charge, switching, and body diode
considerations. Application considerations will also be
discussed throughout. This seminar will also include a
brief description of the operating characteristics of the
SiC bipolar junction transistor (BJT) which is an attractive device for power conversion applications.

opportunities are availed with the introduction of more
DC generation and distribution. However, the fundamentals of power flow and system dynamics are the same
from transmission through distribution to end-use. This

and what power controllers need to do to offer greater
benefits to system stability and economic resource.

I gave my first seminar on feedback loop design in
1979, 30 years ago. Since then, I have given many
more seminars on the subject but have found it takes a
long time to educate the world. Now the world is going
digital. New graduates are going to find digital solutions
for everything, including feedback loops. I invented the
K-Factor approach that allows one to stabilize any analog feedback loop with the desired bandwidth and phase
margin on the first try. Since then I have been searching for a method for stabilizing digital feedback loops as
quickly and easily as analog feedback loops. Now I have
such a method, which is what this seminar is all about.
I will discuss the three basic types of analog feedback
amplifiers, Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3, and show how
they directly relate the three types of digital feedback
compensators, I, PI, and PID. Anyone with a degree in
Electrical Engineering should be able to follow this seminar. I plan to have a live demonstration showing how to
measure digital loops as easily as analog loops.
through many power electronics related design examples and tools. Along the way, the limitations of some
common design thumb-rules are exposed and common
assumptions are challenged. The ultimate objective of
this seminar is to present a strong case that with a correct design approach, low cost and high efficiency are
not mutually exclusive goals to strive for.
A distributed generation system, as found in a smart grid
interconnection of several intermittent power sources,
e.g. batteries, fuel cells, PV and wind turbines, is used
to describe power electronic networks that affect the
basics of power flow control and transient system stability. Topics are introduced from ‘an electronics processing
perspective’. With the move to greater DC generation
and direct load usage, a good segment is devoted to DC
system challenges for cabling and protection.
The attendee is expected to be a power electronics
designer needing to gain a “power systems” understanding of alternative power generation, smart-grid distribution and system control. This is an excerpt from a formal
university course taught to power utility engineers.

The demise of the Power Concepts, Inc. International
Power Electronics Conference (1975-1984), better
known by its registered service mark POWERCON,
left the power electronics industry without a conference focused on the working engineer. There were
other power electronics conferences, such as the more
specialized IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference (PESC), but these were generally oriented more
towards publishing of advanced research than solving
the problems of the day.
The IEEE Power Electronics Council, the predecessor
to the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS), acted
to fill this void and created the Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition. Some of the key contributors to the origin of APEC were Dr. John Kassakian,
Dr. William “Trey” Burns, Mr. Bill Hazen and Dr. R. David
Middlebrook.
The first APEC was held in April of 1986, only about nine
months after the concept was first proposed. APEC has
been held every year since.

Batteries are usually the first
topic of discussion for electric
vehicles and with good reason
due to their dominance over
vehicle range but the power electronics that manage
the flow of all electricity between the battery, motor and
power grid have been improving quickly and offering
dramatic improvements in overall vehicle acceleration,
charging times, reliability and cost. At Tesla Motors we
have moved through four generations of power electronics in the Roadster sports car and each time increased
current density and motor torque substantially while
decreasing cost. These increases in current and torque
offer immediate and tangible value to consumers relative
to internal combustion vehicles and they have allowed
us to eliminate a two-speed transmission and the associated shift times and cost. In just the last few years it
has become possible to build an electric power-train with
better overall performance than any internal combustion engine and these desirable driving characteristics
will only accelerate EV adoption beyond the environmental benefits. Power electronics improvements and
cost reductions are also allowing for faster charging
rates and more sophisticated vehicle interfaces with the
power grid. It is an exciting time for everyone working in
these fields and opportunities abound as new markets
for smart energy management and storage take off.
put power electronics engineers out of work. Digital
power has inspired countless papers and seminars as
well as a digital power specific conference. Now that
the hype has mostly passed, what is the state of digital
power? Has it delivered on its promises? This talk will try
to answer those questions. What we see today is that
digital power is alive and well, quietly making inroads
all across the power electronics spectrum. Even powerful digital signal processors (DSPs) are inexpensive
enough to be considered for many designs. And digital
signal controllers – hybrids between feature rich microcontrollers and computationally powerful DSPs – offer
designers new low cost ways to both close the loop and
implement housekeeping functions. Cycle by cycle loop
compensation in new ICs coming to market offer eliminates instability problems once and for all. In the server
world, PMBus™ is being use to enable energy saving
system management functions. So while digital power
has not yet, and probably never will, live up to the hype,
it is becoming a powerful tool in the power electronics
designer’s toolbox.

There are two challenges facing
today’s data center operation:
firstly, current utilization of data

only at 30% and network utilization is only about 35%.
Secondly, power and cooling capacities are limited; it is
an important and challenging task to improve power and
cooling architectures to meet the increasing demand for
power density.
To solve under utilization issues, the computing industry is moving towards virtualization on server, storage
system and data center. Thus, the trend for future data
center design starts is virtualization to “private cloud
computing” to “cloud computing”. This tendency definitely has significant impact to the power and cooling
architecture for future data center. In this presentation,

In preparation for the 25th anniversary of the Applied Power
Electronics Conference (APEC),
the premier conference for power electronics, the Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) has embarked on a project to research
the key milestones of our industry’s rich heritage.
The main focus is on what we can learn from our early
pioneers and the many innovators along the way.
Power Conversion and Energy Harvest
in Distributed Photovoltaics (PV) to
Generation Systems
Where progress has been made it has been generally
in improving efficiency in very large inverters used in
utility-scale installations. Distributed generation of solar
power, particularly on residential and light commercial
roof-tops, is major new segment to be developed, but
poses some unique challenges, and has not been well
served with current technologies based on high voltage
DC feeds into centralized inverters. Recently, major
strides are being made in micro-inverters by a number
of companies with the objective of doing roof-top power
conversion on a per-panel basis. This approach can
yield significant gains in how many sites can qualify for
PV, and increase energy harvest, while also decreasing installation cost. There are, however, some tough
technical challenges that must be overcome if ACPV is
to realize its full potential and accelerate the timing to
grid parity.
This presentation will cover both the opportunities
and critical success factors for ACPV to enable
truly widespread adoption of distributed generation of
