This course covers the analysis and design of magnetic components, including inductors and transformers, used in power electronic converters. This course assumes prior completion of ECEA 5700: ...

This course teaches how to design a feedback system to control a switching converter. The equivalent circuit models derived in the previous courses are extended to model small-signal ac variations.

Figure 1: In a step-up converter, all you have to do to change the output voltage is change the duty cycle of the switching signal. Interestingly, the circuit raises the voltage by changing the duty ...

The synchronous buck converter is a widely used topology in low-voltage, high-current applications. One common application is a point-of-load (POL) converter that transforms a system bus voltage of 48 ...

Microprocessors (µPs) and system-on-chip (SoC) integrated circuits impose very demanding large and fast load current changes of 10 A/µs to 50 A/µs yet require ultra-small transient voltage overshoot ...
