Power electronics
Choose a model. Test an explanation. Defend a design decision.
Circuit foundations
Current, voltage, energy, magnetics, filters and control. Worked examples connect circuit models to engineering choices.
Read the foundation recap → Lesson 1Design a buck converter
Follow a 30–60 V to 12 V, 20 A GaN converter from requirements through component choices, control, losses and verification.
Read the buck-converter lesson → Lesson 2 · Exercise draftBoost-converter transients
Investigate capacitor-charger startup, CCM versus CrCM, and the DC bus supplying an intermittent RF-stage load.
Read the boost-converter exercises → Magnetics · Appendix A · DraftArea product by magnetic kind
Why one flux density sizes chokes well but makes transformers and ICTs too small: Kg at saturation versus Kgfe from core loss.
Read the magnetics appendix → Additional readingCharacterize a transformer
Connect transformer measurements to the equivalent circuit and identify what the resulting model can explain.
