1. Basic knowledge of power circuits of DC/DC and DC/AC converters.
2. Basic knowledge of turn-on and turn-off processes of a switching transistor.
3. Basic knowledge of gate-driver problems.
4. Basic knowledge of pulse transformers and choke-inductor design.

Oral final exam - max. 70 points
Study results are verified regularly during the semester based on a discussion over the degree of understanding the solved problems - max. 30 points.

The goal of the course is to improve the knowledge in the field of power pulse converters, non-traditional power circuits, application of modern switching semiconductors and corresponding parasitic effects.
The graduate understands the ringing effect and knows the mechanisms of its appearing.
The graduate is able to eliminate the ringing by the construction of power circuit and gate-driver.
The graduate can construct power-stages of gate-drivers for SiC MOS-FET and GaN MOS-FET transistors.
The graduate knows the snubber circuits.
The graduate understands selected resonant and quasi-resonant converters in detail.
The graduate is able to design the pulse transforemsr and a choke inductor taking into account the problems of skin-effect and proximity effects.
The graduate is able to construct power circuits with extremely fast semiconductors and is able to elliminate the forced parasitic effects appearing in these cases.
The graduate can correctly read the distorted measurement results of power circuits.
The graduate can design EMC filters and is able to construct control circuits with high immunity to the interference of power circuits.
