The scope of the book covers most of the aspects as a primer on power electronics starting from
a simple diode bridge to a DC-DC convertor using PWM control. The thyristor-bridge and the
mechanism of designing a closed loop system are discussed in chapter one two and three. The
concepts are applied in the fourth chapter as a case study for buck converter which uses
MOSFETs as switching devices and the closed loop system is elaborated in the fifth chapter.
Chapter six is focused on the embedded system basics and the implementation of controls in the
digital domain. Chapter seven is a case study of application of an embedded control system for
a DC motor. With this book the reader will find it easy to work on the practical control
systems with microcontroller implementation. The core intent of this book is to help gain an
accelerated learning path to practical control system engineering and transform control theory
to an implementable control system through electronics. Illustrations are provided for most of
the examples with fundamental mathematics along with simulations of the systems with their
respective equations and stability calculations.
