Unitrode) power supply seminars are part of TI bi-annual analog technical training. In the process, TI also briefly updates on its new controllers and other power management integrated circuits. The seminars normally include a tutorial review of a particular topology, as well as hands-on" design examples on various power conversion topics. Although in my view, the latest seminars were not as useful as they used to be, over time they have covered virtually all main SMPS design fundamentals. Their archives certainly provide good reference info for the SMPS designers. In this page you will find a list of seminar topics from 1999 till present. I used to provide direct links to all seminar presentations. However, TI recently moved most of them into a new directory arranged by subjects and topologies, which now requires a registration.
