Summary

Modern and effectual semiconductor converters claim not only very quality switch components but also well thought out algorithm switching and optimal shape control signal individual switch and effectual style of their protection. All this function must procure control circuit converters. Before was their circuit realization mainly analog, in this time prevailing microprocessors control a software algorithm. Subject informs with both style of solution and leads to software methods. The subject focuses on the basic knowledge of operations of power semiconductor converters and shows control algoritms based on modern microprocessors.
