This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.

Several switching-converter topologies exist for power converters that operate from the ac mains and must maintain a power factor of 0.9 or better. One topology is a boost converter with a control ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

In a conventional diode-rectified flyback converter, the output diode rectifier is a substantial power-loss contributor. The average current in the output diode is equal to the dc output current, and ...

Make sure you take a look at a new feature on the site, regarding switching-converter topologies for power converters – Flyback transformer enables high power-factor and converter efficiency Several ...
