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

Thanks Bob. In the vein of recommended reading, I'd like to put my two cents in. I think Linear Technology datasheets are a very useful resource for reading about power electronics devices. Linear Tech datasheets are clear, contain example designs, include tips on PCB layout and component selection, for example: how to choose the appropriate inductors, capacitors, etc. Basically, they explain how their stuff works, and how to use their stuff well. Some of my favorites from previous designs are the LT3502 step-down regulator and LT3008 linear regulator.
Hope that's of some value,
Keith Tarrats
