"Reference designs are most practical when they include thorough application notes and relevant formulae." Kasra Latifi Fard Power Electronic Design Engineer, NanoStructured Coatings, Co. The goal of a reference design is to describe explicitly how to design the magnetics around an IC to ensure optimal performance and make the design as simple as possible for the engineer. For this reason, reference designs are all-encompassing documents, including application notes, block diagrams, schematics, bill of materials, and layout notes. Beyond this, a good reference design takes a holistic approach, focusing on more than just high performance. Ideally, a reference design enables a system to meet important requirements such as EMC, electromagnetic interference (EMI), efficiency, safety, and reliability. This kind of high-quality documentation is possible only through a deep, close collaboration between the IC house and the magnetics company. Bourns provides customers with reference designs that do the following: • Are based on deep relationships and collaborations with IC manufacturers • Take a holistic approach to the design, ensuring performance, efficiency, and compliance • Offer detailed and thorough documentation including schematics, application notes, layout notes, and more • Use components that are widely available for purchase when the reference design is released to the public 21 I Reference Designs
