Traditional multilevel converters (MLCs) give devices the high performance and efficiency required to keep up with advancing technology, but their complex systems and high number of required power ...

The course consists of three weeks of materials and is focused on modeling and control of grid-tied power electronics. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand, analyze, model, ...

The consequences can be costly, ranging from production downtime to compromised equipment and even safety hazards. Certainly, capacitors are indeed responsible for 30% of power electronics failures, ...

This course introduces the basic concepts of switched-mode converter circuits for controlling and converting electrical power with high efficiency. Principles of converter circuit analysis are ...

Simulations are typically conducted before the prototype design phase in order to reduce development efforts not only in the automotive and industrial equipment markets. Even when designing electronic ...

Boost power supplies are popular for creating higher dc voltages from low-voltage inputs. As the power demands from these supplies increase, however, a single power stage may be insufficient. This ...

The difference between a controller and converter design. Why you want to use a controller versus a converter design. It’s become trendy to multiphase or stack devices as power requirements across ...

Green point-of-load DC-DC converter designs need high efficiency and low IQ, so what is the optimal POL converter for embedded systems. Most embedded systems are powered via a 48V backplane. This ...

Editor’s Note: The author describes the design of a low power, high speed differential to single-ended converter circuit that uses a novel feedback technique to achieve high bandwidth without ...
