This add-on board provides a hands-on device for learning power electronics and power management. Using functional blocks, students can build their own buck converters, regulators, and both DC-to-AC and AD-to-DC converters. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of each component in a power electronics system and how it influences other components to create a cohesive system all while using industry-standard Texas Instruments circuits.
