1. Power circuits: buck, boost, buck/boost, flyback, forward, full bridge, half bridge, and push-pull configurations
2. Feedback control for regulators: small-signal model, output impedance, input regulation, feedback stability, compensation design. Discussion is limited to voltage-mode control
3. Magnetic components: basic magnetic laws, BH characteristics, core losses, air-gap effect, flux continuity at switching, component designs including forward converter transformers, flyback transformers, inductor, and common-mode chokes.
