By manipulating the switching frequency and turns ratios of the transformer, the circuit can have an arbitrary output voltage. In this case, it is designed to take 220V AC and convert it to 8V DC.

Every EV, therefore, is outfitted with an inverter to convert AC to DC, which can in turn charge the EV’s battery. The shortcomings of inverters in electric vehicles ...

His design and research interests include high-efficiency and high-power-density power conversion, soft-switching converters, and GaN implementation in AC/DC converters. Max obtained a master’s degree ...
