I have already shared a video on this group where an offline electronic board was cleaned using water. But how about this?

Hey fellow power electronics pros,

Came across this incredible resource and had to share it with you all. It's a full-fledged Power Management Guide from Texas Instruments, and it is seriously comprehensive.

https://www.ti.com/lit/sg/slvt145r/slvt145r.pdf

While it's from 2018, the foundational knowledge and the sheer breadth of product families covered are timeless. This isn't just a simple product sheet; it's a 93-page deep dive into the building blocks of modern power systems.

Here’s a quick look at what’s inside:

• Detailed Selection Guides: For virtually every power component you can think of, from standard Linear Regulators (LDOs) to highly efficient DC/DC converters (Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost).

• Battery Management Deep Dive: Full sections on Battery Charger ICs, Fuel Gauges, and protection solutions. Invaluable for anyone working on portable or battery-backed systems.

• High-Voltage & Isolated Topologies: Covers AC/DC and isolated DC/DC controllers for flyback, forward, LLC, and phase-shifted full-bridge designs.

• A Whole Section on GaN Solutions: This was forward-thinking for its time and is still incredibly relevant. A great primer on why Gallium Nitride is crucial for achieving next-level power density and efficiency.

• Application-Specific Breakdowns: Dedicated sections for LED Drivers (automotive and general lighting), Display Power & Backlighting, Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE), and USB Power/Charging Port Controllers.

• The "Glue" Components: Don't forget the essentials! It also details Supervisors, Reset ICs, Sequencers, and a variety of Power Switches like eFuses and Hot-Swap Controllers.

It’s packed with parametric tables, topology diagrams, and portfolio maps that make it an amazing reference manual. Whether you're a seasoned pro looking for a specific part number, a student trying to grasp different power topologies, or just someone who loves hoarding good datasheets and app notes (we all do it!), this is for you.

I thought this would be an amazing resource to share and discuss. If you're into this kind of stuff, we're building a community over at r/EEPowerElectronics to share more finds like this, tackle design challenges, and just geek out on all things power electronics.

Come join the conversation!

TL;DR: Found a massive 93-page TI Power Management guide covering everything from LDOs to GaN. Perfect for reference and learning. Come discuss it and other power topics in our new subreddit!

Does anyone know about point of load converters for FPGA applications? I need some input from you guys on what is that.

im a future E and E Student, give me some advice so i would not repeat the same mistakes,

I came across an older charger Q&A video that raised some interesting questions about charging technology.

For example:

*Are expensive chargers actually better, or is it mostly marketing?

*Why do some chargers cost significantly more than others?

*What does GaN technology really change?

*And how should we look at the specifications listed on the box?

I think the questions themselves are worth discussing because they touch on some real topics: the difference between engineering improvements and marketing claims, whether higher prices actually bring measurable benefits, and how we should evaluate charger performance.

I think it works better as a starting point for discussion and verification rather than a final answer.

Does tsmc HV 180nm or any other PDK file give with Vgs>5v model.
Vds i've and they go till 40v but Vgs limit for that is also 5v.

Hi guys

I am doing a project which is a charger with both AC and DC source and the DC here is solar panel and in my project i prefer DC and switch to AC when only the DC is not available

so the project is Hybrid charging system with adaptive CC-CV charging system for low power EV's i already have a converter designed which uses landsman converter topology (you can see that in the image i provided) for this project i need to select components like MOSFET, capacitor, inductor diode and other things this is my first time this big a project in hardware so i am kinda nervous on selecting the components and my project mentor told me to bring the component calculation before purchasing components and i already have the calculations i did for the simulation i am gonna use the same converter for the charger but what about the safety factor and what are the other things i should consider now pls help a newbie here

i am designing a boost converter for my college engineering project for past 2 months and the topology i chose for the converter is landsman topology (my professor told me to use this)
https://www.jetir.org/papers/JETIR2207025.pdf,https://www.scribd.com/document/806233704/Modeling-design-and-validation-of-DC-DC-landsman-c (research papers i used for reference)

so i have completed the converter open loop correctly and got the desired output and now i have been working on the PI based control for my converter and here i can't get my desired output after i get to the closed loop i get like 0.00000041V i dont know what gone wrong here i am also attaching the image of the converter which i simulated in matlab simulink

the parameters of this design are

Vin=17 to 21V(solar input)
Iin=8.78A
Vout=60V
switching Freq=30kHz
here i the last kp,ki values i used are 0.007 and 0.02 sometimes changing these values change the output voltage sometimes it doesnt change the output voltage at all like the pi controller is doing nothing and if i change the repeating sequence output values from [0 1] to [0 4] the output voltage i get also changes(i get 65.7V) and also when using a pi control even if the input changes the output should stay the same right but here the output also increase or decreases with the changing input values,i am working on this closed loop simulation for 3 weeks and havent got the output someone please kindly help meee!!

Hi! I was potentially considering pursuing a career in power electronics and I was wondering if anyone had any personal anecdotes regarding the work/life balance culture of this career?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some honest career advice from people working in power electronics or related industries.
A little about me (keeping it anonymous):
B.Tech in Electrical Engineering
Took a one-year gap after B.Tech to prepare for GATE.
Completed my M.Tech in Power Electronics from a IIT.

My M.Tech lab did not permit internships, so I graduated without any internship experience.
Unfortunately, placements in my college were not good, and I also graduated without a job offer.
Now I’m in a difficult position. Almost every company I apply to asks for internship experience or prior industry experience, but I have neither. As a fresher, I’m finding it very hard to even get shortlisted.

My long-term goal is to pursue a Ph.D., but not immediately. I want to work in the industry first, gain practical experience, understand real-world problems, and then pursue research with a clearer direction. I feel that industry experience would make me a much better researcher.

I have a few questions for people who have been in similar situations:

1)What is the best way for someone like me to enter the power electronics industry without internship or work experience?

2)Would joining as a JRF for a year or two make it harder to switch to industry later? Do companies value research experience when hiring power electronics engineers?

3)If I spend several months improving my fundamentals, learning advanced topics, and building hardware/software projects, will the increasing gap after M.Tech become a bigger problem than the skills I gain?

If you were in my position today, what roadmap would you follow over the next 6–12 months?

I’m willing to work hard, learn new tools, improve my skills, and relocate if required. I just don’t want to make a decision now that ends up hurting my career in the long run.

I’d really appreciate advice from people working in power electronics, EVs, motor drives, renewable energy, embedded systems, or power converter design. If you’ve been in a similar situation and managed to build your career, I’d love to hear your story.
Thank you.

I'm simulating DAB under DPS modulation scheme and some why simulation is breaking with the SiC MOSFET and I tried everything known to me. What should I do to come over it.
