Didactic kit for pratical testing of the basic switched mode power supply topologies

The DC/DC converters are widely used in regulated switch-mode DC power supplies and in DC motor drives. Their concepts are, in general, initially approached in disciplines like Power Electronics or Industrial Electronics, when the students have the first experience with high or medium frequency power switching. Thus, to overcome the natural difficulties in practicing this technology, the authors propose a didactic kit, equipped with basic structure for laboratory experiments related with Buck, Boost, and Buck-Boost converters.
