Abstract
This poster covers a study into the possibility of a very high frequency power convertor designed to be controlled digitally by quickly switching smaller converters on and off. Attempts have made previously and as such, this research picks up where they left off while giving ample background. The topics of component selection and testing are all addressed alongside a discussion of the difficulty of populating boards with components smaller than 1 millimeter. An introduction to some issues that arose is included and possible experiments for the future are suggested.
