Typo in HW9.3c

Hi all,

In Problem 9.3c, Vin should be 200V not 100V (otherwise it is impossible to achieve 250W at the output). My apologies for catching this typo so late, I hope it did not lead to too much frustration.

Best,
Mike

Control Demo Video

Hi all,

We managed to make videos of the control demos we would have shown you if class was still happening in-person. The first demo shows the open-loop response of a boost converter to a step change in load (similar to what was shown in lecture today).

The video link is posted on stellar and is also provided here for your convenience: https://www.dropbox.com/s/76vqzckk63jkt5b/Demo14%20-%20Control1%20-%20open%20loop%20step%20response.mp4?dl=0

Best,

Small HW7 Typo

Hi all,

Please note that in HW7 Problem 7.5a, the problem statement should reference Fig. 25.7b in KSV Chapter 25 rather than "Fig. 27b" (which does not exist!).

Best,
Mike
