  • Abstract
    The planned increase of instrumentation sensitivity in the ATLAS experiment of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), at CERN, calls for a thorough re-design of the power distribution architecture. The paper describes the implementation of the main DC-DC converter for the LAr electromagnetic calorimeter. Design consideration and experimental results are provided.
