Electronics Engineering

General objectives The course aims to provide the student with design skills in the field of Power Electronics Specific training objectives: • Knowledge and understanding: Knowledge of the possible configurations of converters and of the related analysis techniques, also based on using generic (PSPICE) or dedicated (PSIM) circuit simulators. Knowledge of the main electrical, thermal, and electromagnetic compatibility problems • Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: Ability to apply design methodologies for switching converters: to select their configuration, to size semiconductor components, as well as capacitors and magnetic components and finally to design the control network. • Communication skills: Ability to produce and to present technical reports, also providing insight in the design trade-offs. • Ability to continue studying independently throughout life: Ability to keep updated one's cultural background, to select reliable sources and to carefully evaluating the information content of data published for different purposes.
