Special Presentation Sessions

The Special Presentation Sessions are new to APEC this year. These presentations have been solicited from the leaders in the power electronics industry especially to address topics of current interest. Like the Professional Education Seminars, they were chosen for their specific topics and were not selected through the peer review process.

These special presentations do not have papers in the APEC Proceedings. They are only available from this Web page. Click on the title of any of the presentations below to download a copy in Acrobat format. Please note that these presentations will be available on the APEC Web site only for a limited time after the conference is over.

New! The following presentations were updated on Friday, February 20:

• SP1.2 Power Supply Considerations For High-Speed DSPs
• SP1.3 Power Supply Trends In ASIC Products
• SP2.6 Supplying Mobile Electronics
• SP3.2 Impacts Of IC And Discrete Technology Development On The Power Processing Industry
