Overview
  • This is a design oriented course. There are many dc-dc converter topologies that are used in power supplies. This course emphasises learning and understanding converter topologies through the aid of open sources tools like octave, gEDA and ngSpice. The course starts with a discussion on rectifier circuits and leads on upto multi-output dc-dc converters. Discussions on various topologies are strengthened with the aid of simulation demonstrations and design exercises. INTENDED AUDIENCE : 3rd or 4th year UG, 1st year masters and research studentsUG/PG course, industry people can also register.PRE-REQUISITES : Basic electric circuitsINDUSTRY SUPPORT : NILL
