LLC Converter Design Using RidleyWorks

Webinar Thursday, November 17, 2022 10 am PDT

Presented by: Dr. Ray Ridley


LLC Converter Design - Acknowledgements

Arthur Nace – retired aerospace


engineer and programmer who
automated LTspice models for us.
Our longest user of RidleyWorks.

Nicola Rosano – Developed the


Rosano impedance curves for
designing the LLC the easy way.

No complex math - take one solid


design, and scale it for frequency,
voltage and power.

Transformer Core Design in RidleyWorks

Core loss is high – add more turns, but check


Winding loss first.
