EE 292J:
Power Electronics
All electronics need power from somewhere, which means the applications of power electronics are everywhere. In this practical introduction to power electronics we discuss both power conversion topologies--rectifiers, switching converters, and inverters; and the details needed to get power circuits to work--magnetic design, thermal management, and control. Includes guest lectures from industry, and a field trip to the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to demonstrate some truly inspiring power converters. Prerequisites: EE 114.
