HW1

In Q2.9 part d, is anyone having a problem determining the L1 ripple current. I get a term that has (Vg-Vc1) which yields zero.

Any tips?

For the extra credit problem, I found the following link to be a helpful review of Laplace transforms as applied to circuit analysis:

Blog Test

Hey guys,

Im just testing out this new blog for Intro to Power with Dragan Maksimovic. I think this class will be tough so I am expecting to be on here quite often.

Recommended Reading

I am starting a topic for us to recommend papers, articles, books, presentations or whatever that would be of interest to the people taking this course.

I will start by recommending a very early and seminal paper on dc-dc converters:

Basic Considerations For DC-DC Converter Networks

E. T. Moore and T. G. Wilson
IEEE Transactions On Magnetics
vol MAG-2, No. 3
September, 1966
Pages 620-624


And if you want to see the formal proofs of many of the assertions
in this paper, look up Dan Wolaver's MIT Ph.D. thesis from a
few years later. It is tough reading that uses graph theory to
prove some very fundamental points on switched mode power
conversion.

Cheers,
Bob White
