While not part of the official APEC Program the Magnetics Workshop, organized jointly by the Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) and the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS), held the Saturday before APEC begins, has become an established tradition. The 2025 workshop will be held on Saturday, March 15, 2025 at [Location To Be Announced].

The 2025 Power Magnetics @ High Frequency Workshop is the 10th annual workshop held in conjunction with APEC. The purpose and focus of this workshop are to identify the latest improvements in magnetic materials, coil (winding) design, construction and fabrication, evaluation and characterization techniques and modelling and simulation tools. The theme of the 2025 workshop will be integrated magnetics, defined as magnetic structures that perform two or more functions. The workshop will address various aspects of integration for both lateral and vertical power delivery. The planned topics include various levels of integration ranging from magnetic components co-packaged with silicon in Power System in Package (PSiP) devices, magnetics embedded in substrates, fabricating magnetics as part of the semiconductor wafer process and traditional core structures used in unique ways. The workshop will also cover integration of magnetic functions for new circuit topologies including coupled inductors, LLC, trans-inductor voltage regulator (TLVR) and variable-inverter-rectifier-transformer (VIRT).

Registration for this workshop is separate from the registration for the APEC conference.

Registration for the workshop is limited and will open on October 25, 2024.
