Abstract
The material presented in this script covers low voltage applications extending from battery operated portable electronics, through POL-converters (Point of Load), internet infrastructure, automotive applications, to PC’s and server computers. Thus, the switched current can be as low as hundreds of mA, or as high as 30 A per switch. The switched voltage can vary from 3 V for battery supply to 12 or 24 V as an intermediate voltage in power distributed systems. Even though the switched power varies respectively from 1 W to 1 kW, the application related issues have many commonalities. Just to stay focused, medium to high voltage applications have been excluded from the discussion.
