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 ...

In this circuit, a MOSFET protects a reverse-connected battery from excessive current. The MOSFET conducts only when the battery is correctly connected, which lets the battery charge or discharge. In ...

Today’s technology imposes a strict control of the circuit before its final realization. The parameters to be kept under control are diverse and take into account many factors, especially that of high ...

Advances in the development of high power and high performance electronic devices demand innovative approaches for heat transfer materials. While it is given that thermal performance must be maximized ...

Through flexible course options, students enrolled in the Power Electronics (PPE) subplan of our Professional Master's Program may pursue a 9-credit hour certificate or a 30-credit hour MS degree. The ...

The term ‘bandgap’ refers to the energy difference between a material’s insulating and conducting states, a critical factor determining its electrical conductivity. As shown in figure 1, with its wide ...

Every day, power electronics systems play a bigger role in our lives. All-electric and hybrid vehicles are now common on our streets. Electrification of the aerospace industry is accelerating, and ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have demonstrated the high-performance potential of an experimental transistor made of a semiconductor called beta gallium oxide, which could bring new ...

The general industry trend is to make electronic products more efficient and, in general, consume less energy. One of the major considerations is to minimize the standby power of electronic circuits.

I recently came across a really well thought out and technically valid paper that constructed a possible future road for power electronics. This paper 1 was solidly based on sound engineering ...
