Session 106: Infrastructure
Wednesday, October 17th, 3.45 p.m - 5:15 p.m 
"Performance, Cost, and Reliability Considerations in a MicroTCA Power System"
Per-Johan Wiberg, Strategic Product Marketing

The presentation outlines a detailed analysis of how different design considerations affect performance, cost and reliability of a MicroTCA power distribution system. The base-line is a -48VDC MicroTCA Power Module that is intended for use in a MicroTCA sub-rack. Many of the areas of interest are also applicable to other types of power solutions or ones designed for other input sources.

The AdvancedTCA/MicroTCA Summit brings attendees practical, up-to-date information on the state of the Telecommunications Computing Architecture, AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA, the emerging standard platforms for communications equipment.

Power Modules at AdvancedTCA Summit Europe 2007 

This focused three-day international conference will serve an audience of decision makers who are interested in learning about and contributing to the latest practical advancements related to the use of digital power control techniques in electronic systems and in power converters, and digital energy management and power management in enterprise-level installations and related digital equipment.

An independent event within electronica&ProductronicaChina, organised by Munich Exhibitions. Like PCIM Europe, which takes place annually in Nuremberg in Germany, the PCIM event in China is an international meeting ground for specialists in power electronics and its applications in drive technologies and power quality. The event offers a chance to see the latest developments in power electronics components and systems.

"Digital Control Techniques enabling Power Density Improvements and Power Management Capabilities"
Per-Johan Wiberg

Digital control techniques combined with clever mechanical communication interfaces can allow both superior power density and integration of power management capabilities into a dc/dc power module. This will provide real performance improvements for OEM system designers and can be achieved without cost or performance penalties.

As The Premier Event in Applied Power Electronics™, APEC focuses on the practical and applied aspects of the power electronics business. This is not just a designer's conference, APEC has something of interest for anyone involved in power electronics.

"Implications of Digital Control and Management for a High Performance Isolated DC-DC Converter - a Case Study"
Mikael Appelberg

The implementation of digital control substantially reduces the space required compared to an identical analogue control solution. This is illustrated by the implementation of a digital controller in an existing intermediate bus converter design. The result is a product with the same power density as an intermediate bus converter, all the functionality of a fully regulated converter and configurability of a digital design.

The embedded world in Nuremberg is the top event when it comes to innovative embedded technologies. Whether hardware, software, tools or services, international companies show embedded experts the latest trends on some 23,000 square meter of display space. Top-flight international speakers contribute with numerous presentations, workshops and hands-on sessions.
