Control circuits are a key element in the operation and performance of power electronics converters. This book describes practical issues related to the design and implementation of these control circuits, with a focus on the presentation of the state-of-the-art control solutions, including circuit technology, design techniques, and implementation issues.

'This book presents state-of-the-art techniques to implement modulation schemes, control algorithms, and gate drivers using analog circuits, digital microprocessors, or field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA).'
