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 ...

The phrase power factor frequently is used in the electrical and power electronics industry. For example, home, office, and industrial electrical equipment often is fitted with power factor-corrected ...

Editor’s note: I hope to see many of my EDN and Planet Analog audience at APEC in Tampa, FL this year. Texas Instruments will have Bob Mammano at their booth at APEC where you can meet him and enter ...

Power MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors) are three-terminal silicon devices that function by applying a signal to the gate that controls current conduction between source and ...

Within the scope of this power electronics tutorial, we will investigate the behavior of a silicon carbide (SiC) rectifier whose operating temperature is significantly greater than the temperature of ...
