Syllabus

This is a introduction in to power supplies and Switch mode power supply theory. This course will cover,

• zenner and lm78xx based linear regulation. why it doesn't work well.
• basic unregulated switching power supply
• voltage feedback regulation
• current loop limit regulation
• Inductor based buck, boost, buck boost, invert, non isolated flyback
• Capacitor based charge pump, buck, boost, invert

The continuation of this course is EE 330 Switching Power Supplies 2
