FieldProgrammable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are currently recognized as the most suitable platform for the implementation of complex digital systems targeting an increasing number of industrial electronics applications. They cover a huge variety of application areas, such as: aerospace, food industry, art, industrial automation, automotive, biomedicine, process control, military, logistics, power electronics, chemistry, sensor networks, robotics, ultrasound, security, and artificial vision. This book first presents the basic architectures of the devices to familiarize the reader with the fundamentals of FPGAs before identifying and discussing new resources that extend the ability of the devices to solve problems in new application domains. Design methodologies are discussed and application examples are included for some of these domains, e.g., mechatronics, robotics, and power systems.
FPGAs and their Role in the Design of Electronic Systems. Main Architectures and Hardware Resources of FPGAs. Embedded Processors in FPGA Architectures. Advanced Signal Processing Resources in FPGAs. Mixed-Signal FPGAs. Tools and Methodologies for FPGA-Based Design. Off-chip and in-chip communications for FPGA systems. Building Reconfigurable Systems using Commercial FPGAs. Industrial Electronics Applications of FPGAs.
Fundamentals of Power Electronics, Third Edition, is an up-to-date and authoritative text and reference book on power electronics. This new edition retains the original objective and philosophy of focusing on the fundamental principles, models, and technical requirements needed for designing practical power electronic systems while adding a wealth of new material. Improved features of this new edition include: new material on switching loss mechanisms and their modeling; wide bandgap semiconductor devices; a more rigorous treatment of averaging; explanation of the Nyquist stability criterion; incorporation of the Tan and Middlebrook model for current programmed control; a new chapter on digital control of switching converters; major new chapters on advanced techniques of design-oriented analysis including feedback and extra-element theorems; average current control; new material on input filter design; new treatment of averaged switch modeling, simulation, and indirect power;and sampling effects in DCM, CPM, and digital control.
Fundamentals of Power Electronics, Third Edition, is intended for use in introductory power electronics courses and related fields for both senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students interested in converter circuits and electronics, control systems, and magnetic and power systems. It will also be an invaluable reference for professionals working in power electronics, power conversion, and analog and digital electronics.

Electronic systems and devices are used across all industries, including commercial, residential, and industrial. Electronics technicians normally work as members of engineering teams, designing, developing, testing, manufacturing, installing, and repairing electrical and electronic equipment such as communication equipment, medical monitoring devices, navigational equipment, and computers.
The field of electronics technology involved building, testing, troubleshooting, repairing, or installing a variety of electronic devices. Students in this program will learn electrical theory, electronic components, soldering and tools, block diagrams, schematics, electronic circuits, power supplies, and technician work procedures.
The coursework is broken up into five sections, called modules, that each focus on a different set of competencies. Completion of each module leads to professional certification in that area. The five modules are:
Electronics technicians perform a broad range of tasks for companies in a wide variety of sectors, including computers, defense, electronic components, manufacturing, utilities, and telecommunications.
This book builds on the background knowledge of electrical circuits, control of dc/dc converters and inverters, energy conversion and power electronics. The book shows readers how to apply computational methods for multi-domain simulation of energy systems and power electronics engineering problems. Each chapter has a brief introduction on the theoretical background, a description of the problems to be solved, and objectives to be achieved. Block diagrams, electrical circuits, mathematical analysis or computer code are covered. Each chapter concludes with discussions on what should be learned, suggestions for further studies and even some experimental work.
