Topics covered include;

• PWM-based sliding mode control schemes for DC-DC power converters
• synthetic-ripple hysteretic controllers for DC/DC converters
• one-cycle controlled single phase power inverters
• digital PWM control of high-frequency DC-DC switched-mode power converters
• microcontroller-based electronic ballasts for high-intensity-discharge lamps
• FPGA-based controllers for direct sliding mode control of PWM boost rectifiers
• DSP controllers for three-phase unity-power-factor rectifiers and voltage-sourced inverters
• FPGA-DSP controllers for DC-DC converters in renewable energy applications, topologies, modulation and control of multilevel converters
• state-of-the-art intelligent gate drivers for IGBT power modules
• control of integrated switched capacitor power converters
• DSP-based natural frame control schemes for three-phase unity-power-factor rectifiers
• dual-core DSP for control and communication in AC microgrids
• the use of computational intelligence for designing power electronics converters
