Overview
In the Opto-Isolated Control Loop Design workshop, participants will learn about designing opto-isolated power supply control loops. Building on the control loop theory taught in the "Power Supply Hardware Design Workshop," this workshop starts with an introduction to opto-isolators, explaining their role in providing isolation between different parts of a power supply circuit. Participants will learn how to choose the right opto-isolator for their applications, ensuring reliable signal transmission across isolated boundaries.
Next, the workshop focuses on using programmable references, like the TL431, as operational amplifiers within the control loop. Participants will see how to integrate these references into their circuits for precise voltage regulation and control. Detailed instructions will be provided on selecting and sizing all necessary components within an opto-isolated control loop. Real-life examples and case studies will help illustrate these concepts, giving participants practical insights into the design process.
To reinforce the theory, the workshop includes hands-on design exercises. Participants will design, simulate, and analyze their opto-isolated control loops, experimenting with different configurations and components. To ease laborious calculations and save time, design examples and calculations are either based on freely available online tools or our advanced Power Supply Design Software WDS which you will receive a free license* for.
By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a solid understanding of opto-isolated control loop design, from selecting the right opto-isolator and programmable references to implementing and testing complete circuits. This workshop equips engineers with the skills needed to handle isolation challenges in modern power supply designs.
