Introduces more advanced switched-mode converter concepts. Realization of power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained. Power diodes, power MOSFETs, and IGBTs are explained, including their switching time origins. Equivalent circuit models are refined to include the effects of switching loss. Several well-known converter circuit topologies are explored, including those with transformer isolation.
