Tutorial: Fundamentals of Power-Conversion Topologies

This tutorial will provide an overview of various power-converter topologies, with a focus on techniques to achieve high-efficiency and high-power density. A brief summary of common power converters, such as buck, boost, single-input multiple-output (SIMO) and multi-phase converters will be presented followed by a detailed analysis and comparison to more recent topologies, such as switched-capacitor (SC) power converters, hybrid and resonant SC converters, and multi-level converters.
