  • ECEA 5721 - Introduction to Power Switches
    Primary Instructor - Summer 2022 / Fall 2022 / Spring 2023 / Summer 2023 / Fall 2023 / Spring 2024
    Power Semiconductor devices that are commonly used in power electronic circuits. Starting with the circuit models of these devices, we will identify the requirements leading to low loss circuits and learn how these can be simulated and analyzed in basic switching circuits. Department Enforced Prerequisite: Undergraduate active circuit knowledge and first exposure to SPICE. Recommended prerequisite: ECEA 5797.
  • ECEA 5722 - High-Voltage p-n and Schottky Diodes
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2023 / Summer 2023 / Fall 2023 / Spring 2024
    Introducing the semiconductor physics background needed to understand the operation of high voltage p-n and Schottky diodes, the analysis of the electrostatic behavior of the diode, the diode current, and the circuit model for the diode. The course also includes a discussion of super junctions and high voltage termination structures. Department Enforced prerequisites: Knowledge of undergraduate physics including Ohm�s and Gauss�s law. Recommended prerequisite: ECEA 5797.
