There are several families of DC/DC converters constituting hundreds of different topologies. Sorting through the various properties and characteristics is obviously a daunting task. Culled from the pages of the groundbreaking Advanced DC/DC Converters, this book provides a focused, concise overview of synchronous and multiple-element resonant power converters. It carefully examines the topologies of these converters by illustrating the design of several prototypes developed by the authors. In addition, the book introduces DC power sources, control circuits, and EMI/EMC application examples for DC/DC converters. A brand new chapter illustrates energy factors and mathematical modeling.
