Conference Overview

The Embedded Power Conference is unlike your typical conference. The classes are not product pitches veiled as educational content.The 20+ courses that comprises the four tracks are taught by REAL engineers. These systems level design engineers are facing increasing power-managment issues, like:

• How do designers deal with excessive heat generated by today’s high-powered systems?
• What role does software play in increasing efficiency?
• Do the latest digital power techniques ease the burden?

NEW COURSES ADDED! The 20+ courses are practical hands-on targeted content specifically for the embedded engineer focusing on:

• A power management conference for line powered systems – rack servers, bank servers, etc.
• It’s about watts, not microwatts.
• It’s about how to save money by enhancing power/energy density.
• It’s about discovering new solutions, not rehashing old protocols.

The technical program at the event will consist of four tracks:

Software: using software algorithms to reduce power; or digital power techniques

Heat Management: cooling options; proper airflow; thermal modeling; temp sensing

System-Level and Backplane Supply: hot-swap; distributed power; supplying multiple voltages

Circuit-Level Power: increase power efficiency; minimize switching losses; power-estimation

Event Highlights

Panel Discussion:
Wednesday, September 17
3:30 - 4:45 pm

Alix Paultre, Editor-in-Chief of ECN moderates a panel on how digital power has moved from being an interesting control methodology to a command and control protocol that will change the way we manage and supervise power at all levels of a system.
