EE 467-567 INTEGRATED POWER ELECTRONICS

COURSE REGISTRATION -
This course is now offered Spring 2010 semester through forced registration because of cap limitations. (Originally this course was offered through Independent Study (EE499/EE598).

If you originally signed up through Independent Study (i.e. had Dr. Hopkins sign the Independent Study form), then you should already be transferred to the new course numbers. If you were NOT processed through the previous Independent Study form - YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED. You need to email Dr. Hopkins for force registration.

Twenty (20) students originally signed up for this course through Mr. Ethanur-Thuppale. If you did not previously register through Independent Study (see above), then you need to complete your registration by emailiing Dr. Hopkins immediately for force registration.

Since there is a cap for this course, registration is by 'forced add' only through Professor Hopkins - send him an email with your Name, Person Number and Major Area of Study. Preference is given to those students in the Electric Power and Energy area and to undergraduates. Only Seniors in good standing may take EE-467.

Welcome back and hope you had an enjoyable break.

COURSE DESCRIPTION -
Fundamental to electronic systems, e.g. sensors, communications and portable electronics, is the need to deliver electrical power. As today's electronics become smaller, so do the power circuits for conditioning and supplying power. This course introduces inductive and capacitive power switching fundamentals, circuits and commercial ICs for designing power processing systems. The student will design a power supply including controls. The lectures will introduce patents and descriptions to augment teaching and student understanding.

COURSE OBJECTIVES -
At the conclusion of this course (or activity), participants should be able to: identify and interpret the power processing problem, create an engineering specification of the problem, analyze the problem and synthesize a solution, assess the success of the solution, and then demonstrate the solution. The student successfully applies learned abilities in a team environment.

COURSE TOPICS -

Spring 2009 is the inaugural launch of this course at UB. Most, but not all of the following topics will be covered from the text "Elements of Power Electronics," by Dr. Philip T. Krein. Other material is being developed to augment these topics, particularly in the area of low-power and micro-power circuits.
