Final exam
Details
It is planned to conduct the summary examination as an oral examination, in individual cases with a high number of candidates also a written examination. The examination ensures that each student has achieved the goals of the L.O. individually.

55% of this summary examination is included in the overall grade. The remaining 45% weighting consists of an assessed internship, which does not take place every semester.
Minimum standard
Sound explanation of the function of diverse converters

Learning goals

Demonstrate action competence
The following topologies can be analysed, described, evaluated, constructed, put into operation and measured by the students (in lab probably 3 out of 4 Topologies):

buck converter with focus on inductance

flyback converter

push-pull converter

series-resonant converter
Expenditure classroom teaching
Type Attendance (h/Wk.)
Practical training 2
Tutorial (voluntary) 0
Special literature
keine/none
Special requirements
none
Accompanying material
Lab documents, Internet (Students must find the necessary documents to show self-dependent way of working)
Separate exam
Exam Type
working on practical scenarion (e.g. in a lab)
Details
The students work independently and consciously with few specifications / instructions on the construction of converters. In a detailed discussion with the lecturer, the students explain the steps and effects.
Minimum standard
The students are able to describe the function of the assembled circuits in a valid way, the circuits function in the laboratory setup.
