Industry Session 1

Presentation: IS10.2 - Improving Transient Performance on Server and AI Applications
Speaker: Jose Luis Silva
Date: Wednesday, March 25, 2026, 9:20 - 9:45 AM CT
Location: 205

In this presentation, some popular transient mitigation techniques like Z-Axis Power Delivery (ZPD^TM) network and trans-inductor voltage regulator (TLVR) are explored analytically and via simulation, evidencing the transient performance advantages, disadvantages, knobs, and bottlenecks of these techniques with the hope that the reader gains some basic knowledge to determine the shape of the next design.

Industry Session 2

Presentation: IS22.2 - Elevating 140W Fast-Charging Adapter Design to a New Level with the Improved ZVS Flyback and Totem-Pole PFC Solution
Speaker: Siran Wang, PhD
Co-Author: Yuting Zhou
Date: Thursday, March 26, 2026, 8:45 - 9:10 AM CT
Location: 207

This presentation reviews existing solutions for power supply design in external AC-DC adapter applications, and proposes a new two-stages solution with a ZVS Flyback and a totem-pole PFC, both with quite some innovative features. There are experimental results and comparisons showing substantial superiority of the proposed solution on efficiency across a wide operating range. At the same time, the proposed solution also keeps a very simple Bill of Materials (BOM), which makes it highly feasible for practical designs and production in the consumer market.
