Présentation
Prerequisite
Reliable electricity bases (voltage and current laws) and electronics fundamentals (passive and active components)
Goal
This lecture explains the fundamentals of switch-mode electronics systems when power and efficiency are a relevant issue. The principles given here can be applied to any power electronics application, but focus is given to switch-mode power supplies and DC-DC converters, since they are widely used in many equipments.
Presentation
- Passive components:
technology and applications of capacitors and inductors
- Basic active power components:
diodes and transistors (bipolar, MOSFETs)
- Comparison between linear and switch-mode electronics
- DC-DC converters with or without transformers
- Power Factor Correction
- Layout guidelines
- Introduction to ElectroMagnetic Compatibility
