Learn About Designing Power-Management Systems with Frederik Dostal

Nov. 5, 2024

Frederik Dostal, author of Dostal’s Designs on Electronic Design, talks about developing power systems.

All electrical systems need power and these days most systems require a steady, efficient, and cost-effective source. Solutions like switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) are now common, but they’re not necessarily easy to design or select.

Guest host, Bill Wong, Senior Content Director and Editor at Electronic Design, talks with Frederik Dostal, a Power Supply Expert with Analog Devices and the author of the Dostal’s Designs video/article series covering power-supply design tips.

In this episode of Inside Electronics, Frederik discusses the series and provides insights and tips about getting started with power-supply design.
