4th course in the Modeling and Control of Power Electronics
Instructor: Dragan Maksimovic, Ph.D., Professor
The course is focused on current-mode control techniques, which are very frequently applied in practical realizations of switched-mode. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand, analyze, model, and design current-mode controllers for dc-dc power converters, including peak current-mode controllers and average current-mode controllers.
Prior knowledge needed: ECEA 5700 Introduction to Power Electronics, ECEA 5701 Converter Circuits, ECEA 5702 Converter Control, ECEA 5703 Magnetics Design, ECEA 5705 Averaged Switch Modeling and Simulation, ECEA 5706 Technical Design-Oriented Analysis, ECEA 5707 Input Filter Design
