This course teaches how to design a feedback system to control a switching converter. The equivalent circuit models derived in the previous courses are extended to model small-signal ac variations. These models are then solved, to find the important transfer functions of the converter and its regulator system. Finally, the feedback loop is modeled, analyzed, and designed to meet requirements such as output regulation, bandwidth and transient response, and rejection of disturbances. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to design and analyze the feedback systems of switching regulators. This course assumes prior completion of courses Introduction to Power Electronics and Converter Circuits.
The University of Colorado Boulder is one of only 35 U.S. public research institutions in the Association of American Universities (AAU), a group of institutions recognized as America’s leading research universities.
Public good, in the context of a top-tier comprehensive university, includes research, teaching and service by which we create knowledge for and with the public. We engage with problems that affect the public, and we enable each generation of citizens to remake our democracy by equipping them with skills of critical reasoning and analysis, and a broad sense of civic obligation to the state, the nation, and the world.
