A course in power electronics and solid-state converters. Major topics include switching devices (SCR, MOSFET, IGBT, GTO, etc.), non-isolated and isolated DC-DC switched-mode converters, diode and thyristor bridges, voltage-sourced converters (inverters and rectifiers), and industry applications of power electronics. Typical digital and analog control schemes for power electronic converters will also be discussed. Important concepts are illustrated through computer and/or hardware labs.
