EE 563 Syllabus Spring 2005
Dr. David J. Christie
This course introduces the principles of switch-mode converter small signal models,
small signal transfer functions, and controller design. Fundamentals of magnetic
component design will be covered, with an emphasis on power inductors and power
transformers. Design examples will be used to illustrate the application of fundamental
principles covered in the course to practical switch-mode converters.

EE 563 Homework Spring 2005
Dr. David J. Christie
12 January 2005
Homework is due in class the day and time stated. Late homework will not be accepted.
Reasonable collaboration is allowed and encouraged, but everyone is expected to turn in
the results of their own work. Use of MATLAB is encouraged, but is not required. Clever
use of MATLAB can reduce the effort required to complete some assignments.
Homework Set 0
Due in class Monday 31 Jan 2005
1. Visit the www.uspto.gov and www.wipo.org web sites. What rights does a patent
give the assignee? Write a brief answer (double spaced, Times New Roman, 12
point, 500 words or less). Find a patent of a power supply incorporating a buck
converter and turn in the first page with a brief description of its importance
(double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point, 500 words or less).
2. Visit the IEEE Explore database through the CSU library. Find a paper on a buck
converter and turn in the first page with a brief description of its importance
(double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point, 500 words or less).

Proposal Phase
1. Select a topic. Your topic must be approved. It must be related to control or
magnetics for switch-mode power conversion of some type. It is important for
you to select a topic which has enough technical and patent literature for
references.
2. Write a proposal. Each student needs to write a proposal for his/her part of the
project. The proposal is to be 2 pages, typed, double spaced, Times New Roman,
12 point, with one inch margins top, bottom, and sides. You should have at least
two references from technical literature, which means journals, transactions,
letters, conference proceedings, etc., and specifically not trade magazines. You
should also have at least one patent literature reference, either an issued patent or
published patent application.
WRITTEN PROPOSAL DUE DATE: Monday 21 February, 2005, in class.
3. Prepare a proposal presentation. Each student needs to give a presentation on
his/her proposal. The presentation should be prepared in PowerPoint. You should
print out transparencies, and plan to use the overhead projector. We may have a
computer projector available, so you should also bring an electronic copy saved to
a CD. The presentations will be limited to 5 minutes, absolute maximum. You
should have no more than five slides in addition to your title slide.
PRESENTATION DATE: Monday 21 February 2005, in class. CDs of electronic
copies are due Monday 21 February 2005, in class.
Project Phase
1. Write a paper. Each student needs to write a paper on his/her facet of the group
topic. The paper is to meet the manuscript guidelines for submission to IEEE
Transactions on Power Electronics, and for IEEE journals in general. Specific
requirements in addition to those guidelines are 15 pages absolute maximum,
typed, double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point, 1 inch margins top, bottom,
and sides. The paper must have a minimum of 15 references consisting of papers
from technical journals and conferences (trade magazines do not count) and
patent literature, either issued patents or published patent applications. You must
have at least 10 references of papers from technical journals and conferences, and
at least 3 references from patent literature. Use of textbooks, trade magazines,
web pages, etc. is permitted, but must be in addition to the specified requirements.
PAPER DUE DATE: Hard copy and CD (Microsoft Word) due Monday 11 April
2005, in class.
2. Prepare a presentation. Prepare your presentation using PowerPoint. You will
have 20 minutes, absolute maximum, to give your presentation and answer
questions. It would be best to target 15 minutes for your presentation and allow 5
minutes for questions. That means you should probably limit your presentation to
15 slides in addition to the title slide. You should print out transparencies, and
plan to use the overhead projector. We may have a computer projector available,
so you should also bring an electronic copy saved to a CD.
PRESENTATION DUE DATE: Electronic copies due Monday 11 April 2005 in
class. In class oral presentation dates will be Monday 18 April 2005 and
Wednesday 20 April 2005.
