EE 467-567 INTEGRATED POWER ELECTRONICS
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.
Part I: Principles
1. Background
2. Organizing and Analyzing Switches
3. Converter Concepts
Part II: Converters and Applications
4. DC-DC Converters
5. Diode-Capacitor Circuits and Rectifiers
6. Inverters
7. AC-AC Conversion
9. Discontinuous Modes
Part III: Real Components and Their Effects
10. Real Sources and Loads
11. Capacitors and Resistors
13. Power Semiconductors in Converters
