Goal(s)

Improved skills on power electronics and on power semi-conductor's switches. Advanced Power Converters Topologies are presented as : Multicell converters, Quasi-Resonant power supply, ... Physics of semi-conductors (Si, SiC and GaN) and drivers association are pointed out.
• Power electronics Structures
• Quasi-resonant and Resonant converters
• Drivers and semiconductors

Learning Outcomes :
At the end of the course, students will be able to :

  • describe the static and dynamic phenomena governing semiconductor switching
  • explain the operation of a static converter
  • calculate filtering elements
  • evaluate the electrical constraints on the various components of a converter
  • estimate the importance of parasitic elements in the operation of static converters
