DC-DC Converter Topologies
Basic to Advanced
by Gerry Moschopoulos
Part of the IEEE Press series
DC-DC Converter Topologies
A comprehensive look at DC-DC converters and advanced power converter topologies for all skills levels
As it can be rare for source voltage to meet the requirements of a Direct Current (DC) load, DC-DC converters are essential to access service. DC-DC power converters employ power semiconductor devices (like MOSFETs and IGBTs) as switches and passive elements such as capacitors, inductors, and transformers to alter the voltage provided by a DC source into the necessary DC voltage as is required by a DC load. This source can be a battery, solar panels, fuel cells, or a DC bus voltage fed by rectified AC utility voltage. As the many components of DC-DC converters can be differently arranged into circuit structures called topologies, there are as many possible circuit topologies as there are possible combinations of circuit elements.
Focusing on DC-DC switch-mode power converters ranging from 50 W to 10kW, DC-DC Converter Topologies provides a survey of all converter topology types within this power range. General principles are described for each topology type using a representative converter as an example. Variations that can be found that differ from the example are then examined, with a helpful discussion of comparisons when relevant. A broad range of topics is covered within the book, from simple, low-power converters to complex, high-power converters and everywhere in between.
DC-DC Converter Topologies readers will also find:
• A detailed discussion of four key DC-DC converter topologies
• Description of isolated two-switch pulse-width modulated (PWM) topologies including push-pull, half-bridge, and interleaved converters
• An exploration of high-gain converters such as coupled inductors, voltage multipliers, and switched capacitor converters
This book provides the tools so that a non-expert will be equipped to deal with the vast array of DC-DC converters that presently exist. As such, DC-DC Converter Topologies is a useful reference for electrical engineers, professors, and graduate students studying in the field.

Essentials of Computational Electromagnetics
by Xin-Qing Sheng
Part of the IEEE Press series
“Essentials of Computational Electromagnetics” provides an in-depth introduction of the three main full-wave numerical methods in computational electromagnetics (CEM); namely, the method of moment (MoM), the finite element method (FEM), and the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Numerous monographs can be found addressing one of the above three methods. However, few give a broad general overview of essentials embodied in these methods or were published too early to include recent advances. Furthermore, many existing monographs only present the final numerical results without specifying practical issues, such as how to convert discretized formulations into computer programs, and the numerical characteristics of the computer programs. In this book, the authors elaborate the above three methods in CEM using practical case studies, explaining their own research experiences along with a review of current literature. A full analysis is provided for typical cases, including characteristics of numerical methods, helping beginners to develop a quick and deep understanding of the essentials of CEM.

Planar Microwave Sensors
by Ferran Martín
Part of the IEEE Press series
Comprehensive resource detailing the latest advances in microwave and wireless sensors implemented in planar technology
Planar Microwave Sensors is an authoritative resource on the subject, discussing the main relevant sensing strategies, working principles, and applications on the basis of the authors' own experience and background, while also highlighting the most relevant contributions to the topic reported by international research groups. The authors provide an overview of planar microwave sensors grouped by chapters according to their working principle.
In each chapter, the working principle is explained in detail and the specific sensor design strategies are discussed, including validation examples at both simulation and experimental level. The most suited applications in each case are also reported. The necessary theory and analysis for sensor design are further provided, with special emphasis on performance improvement (i.e., sensitivity and resolution optimization, dynamic range, etc.). Lastly, the work covers a number of applications, from material characterization to biosensing, including motion control sensors, microfluidic sensors, industrial sensors, and more.
Sample topics covered in the work include:
• Non-resonant and resonant sensors, reflective-mode and transmission-mode sensors, single-ended and differential sensors, and contact and contactless sensors
• Design guidelines for sensor performance optimization and analytical methods to retrieve the variables of interest from the measured sensor responses
• Radiofrequency identification (RFID) sensor types, prospective applications, and materials/technologies towards "green sensors" implementation

CMOS Voltage References
An Analytical and Practical Perspective
by Chi-Wah Kok
Part of the IEEE Press series
A practical overview of CMOS circuit design, this book covers the technology, analysis, and design techniques of voltage reference circuits. The design requirements covered follow modern CMOS processes, with an emphasis on low power, low voltage, and low temperature coefficient voltage reference design. Dedicating a chapter to each stage of the design process, the authors have organized the content to give readers the tools they need to implement the technologies themselves. Readers will gain an understanding of device characteristics, the practical considerations behind circuit topology, and potential problems with each type of circuit.
Many design examples are used throughout, most of which have been tested with silicon implementation or employed in real-world products. This ensures that the material presented relevant to both students studying the topic as well as readers requiring a practical viewpoint.
• Covers CMOS voltage reference circuit design, from the basics through to advanced topics
• Provides an overview of basic device physics and different building blocks of voltage reference designs
• Features real-world examples based on actual silicon implementation
• Includes analytical exercises, simulation exercises, and silicon layout exercises, giving readers guidance and design layout experience for voltage reference circuits
• Solution manual available to instructors from the book's companion website
This book is highly useful for graduate students in VLSI design, as well as practicing analog engineers and IC design professionals. Advanced undergraduates preparing for further study in VLSI will also find this book a helpful companion text.

Power System Monitoring and Control
by Hassan Bevrani
Part of the IEEE Press series
An invaluable resource for addressing the myriad critical technical engineering considerations in modern electric power system design and operation.
“Power System Monitoring and Control (PSMC)” is becoming increasingly significant in the design, planning, and operation of modern electric power systems. In response to the existing challenge of integrating advanced metering, computation, communication, and control into appropriate levels of PSMC, “Power System Monitoring and Control” presents a comprehensive overview of the basic principles and key technologies for the monitoring, protection, and control of contemporary wide-area power systems. A variety of topical issues are addressed, including renewable energy sources, smart grids, wide area stabilizing, coordinated voltage regulation and angle oscillation damping-as well as the advantages of phasor measurement units (PMUs) and global positioning system (GPS) time signal. Analysis and synthesis examples, along with case studies, add depth and clarity to all topics.
• Provides an up-to-date and comprehensive reference for researchers and engineers working on wide-area PSMC
• Links fundamental concepts of PSMC, advanced metering and control theory/techniques, and practical engineering considerations
• Covers PSMC problem understanding, design, practical aspects, and topics such as smart grid and coordinated angle oscillation damping and voltage regulation
• Incorporates the authors' experiences teaching and researching in international locales including Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia
“Power System Monitoring and Control” is ideally suited for a graduate course on this topic. It is also a practical reference for researchers and professional engineers working in power system monitoring, dynamic stability and control.
