Roadmap / Applications
Power Electronics
Chargers, inverters, motor drivers: every device that handles real power is power electronics.
Goal Understand switching power circuits and calculate their losses.
- 01Why switching works3D lab
How fast on-off switching changes voltage with almost no loss.
- 02Buck converter design
Calculating duty cycle, inductor ripple and output capacitance.
- 03Boost and buck-boost
Topologies that step voltage up, or both up and down.
- 04Losses and heat
Conduction and switching losses, and choosing a heat sink.
- 05
- 06Batteries and BMS
Lithium cell voltage range, balancing and protection.
- 07Isolation and safety
Creepage and clearance at high voltage, and isolated gate drivers.
- 08Measuring power circuits
Viewing switching waveforms safely with differential and current probes.
