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.

DC/DC converters are quite popular among electronic enthusiasts and are widely used within the industry. There are three major types of non-isolated DC/DC converters: buck, boost, and buck-boost. In ...

A stable voltage from an input supply that is higher and lower than the output is often required. A common solution is to use a boost converter followed by an LDO as shown in Figure 1. The boost ...

The Kobe University-developed direct current voltage boost converter has much reduced electromagnetic noise and a high energy efficiency of over 91 percent, which is unprecedented for a MHz drive with ...
