EET 231 — Semiconductor Devices and Circuits 2
Explores modern applications of semiconductor devices with a focus on power electronics. Utilizes insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) to study the operation of buck and boost choppers, battery chargers, and pulse width modulated (PWM) inverters. Examines the construction and theory of operation of thyristors and their use in rectifiers, inverters, and motor drives.
