After three long years of extensive work on this project, my new book entitled Transfer Functions of Switching Converters - Fast Analytical Techniques at Work with Small-Signal Analysis is available for purchase via the links given below.

The book starts with a smooth introduction to switching cells, going into the details of the first steps of linearization and small-signal modulation. You will then learn how the PWM switch model was derived and how to apply it to the basic structures operated in fixed switching frequency and various operating conditions like continuous and discontinuous modes in voltage- or current-mode control. The model is extended to other control schemes like quasi-resonance, constant on- and off-time converters, all with an associated small-signal version. The following chapters explore the founding structures like the buck, the boost and buck-boost cells, naturally covering their isolated versions like forward or flyback converters with many variations (push-pull, half- and full-bridge, phase-shift, interleave etc.). The last chapter deals with more complicated structures like Ćuk, Zeta, SEPIC and LLC.

The book represents an ideal companion for the young or seasoned engineer willing to study and stabilize her or his switching converter. Finally, BSEE, MSEE or Ph.D students will also find many useful descriptions and methods they can later apply during their studies or when facing their first industrial projects.
House Of The Dragon - Season 2
House Of The Dragon - Season 2
House Of The Dragon - Season 2

Across the season, watch for the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways the realm turns against female rulers. Alicent, despite crowning her son, finds herself sidelined by the men of the Small Council. Rhaenyra, despite being the heir, must constantly prove her competence. Meanwhile, the common people of King’s Landing begin to suffer—and when the smallfolk bleed, they blame the queen, not the king.

While Season 1 gave us one major dragon duel (Vhagar vs. Arrax), Season 2 will deliver full-scale engagements. Based on Fire & Blood , here is the likely battle map:

Watch for: Skip if you need: Constant action, clear heroes, or a resolved ending.
