The graduate is able to
o describe parasitic properties of real electronic components and evaluate their impact on power supply properties
o compare properties (qualities) of different electronic components and choose appropriate on for target application
o explain functionality of both linear and switched mode power supplies
o choose suitable power supply topology (both linear and switched) according to the design needs
o calculate values of and requirements on basic components of power a supply
o use basic CAD tools for power supply design
o design a protection and cooling for a power supply

Students are expected to have knowledge of basic electronic components (resistor, capacitor, inductor, transformer, diode, bipolar and unipolar transistor, tyristor) and basic knowledge of differentiation and integration.

There are no co-requisites.

Techning methods include lectures, computer laboratories and practical laboratories. Course is taking advantage of e-learning (Moodle) system. Students have to prepare a single project during the course.

Student must pass all the laboratory and computer practices, he must elaborate and deliver all protocols and individual project, all in satisfactory quality. Students can gain up to 20 points during laboratory exercises (protocols are evaluated), up to 10 point for active work on PC exercises, up to 20 points for elaboration of individual design project and up to 50 points at final exam.

1. Introduction to power supplies, principle of transformers
2. Properties of real transformers, principle and real properties of inductors
3. Properties of real capacitors and its application, properties of semiconductor rectifiers, diode rectifiers
4. Semiconductor switch components and their properties (bipolar and unipolar transistors, thyristor, triac, diac, IGBT), controlled-semiconductor rectifiers
5. Voltage references, Zener diodes, band-gap references
6. Parametric voltage regulators, linear voltage regulators with feedback
7. Integrated voltage regulators, charge pumps
8. Basic topologies of non-isolated switched-mode power supplies (inductor-based)
9. Basic topologies of isolated switched-mode power supplies
10. Synchronous rectification, parallel and multi-phase converters, bridge topologies
11. Quasi-resonant and resonant topologies, power factor correctors
12. Voltage regulator feedback design, protection and cooling of power supplies
13. Autonomous power supplies: primary and secondary cells, alternative power supplies.

Not applicable.

Students get knowledge of basic principles of both switched and linear power supplies, they learn how to design and implement power supply systems using basic calculations and available CAD tools.

Evaluation of activities is specified by a regulation, which is issued by the lecturer responsible for the course annually.
