Origin of Power Converters

[b]A comprehensive guide to approaches to decoding, synthesizing and modeling pulse width modulation (PWM) converters[/b] [i]Origin of Power Converters[/i] explores the original converter and provides a systematic examination of the development and modeling of power converters based on decoding and synthesizing approaches. The authors—noted experts on the topic—present an introduction to the origins of the converter and detail the fundamentals related to power the converter’s evolution. They cover a range of converter synthesis approaches, synthesis of multi-stage/multi-level converters, extension of hard-switching converters to soft-switching ones, and determination of s…
