EE 4142 - Power Electronics

2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course focuses on the design and simulation of linear and switch-mode power supplies. Topics covered emphasize the use of various active devices in inverters, converters, drives, and power conditioning circuits. Different types of linear and switching power supplies are designed and their performance is analyzed. (prereq: EE 3102  or equivalent and EE 3112  or equivalent)
