develops key concepts from scratch, including a brief review of control theory and modeling strategies for power electronic-based systemsfocuses on the LaunchPadTM F28069M board from Texas InstrumentsTM to provide the reader some basic programming strategiesproposes several control problems in terms of power management of RL and RLC loads (e.g. DC-DC converters) and closed-loop control of DC motorsexamines control schemes as well as the working principles of power converter topologies needed to drive the systems under investigationincludes exercises while presenting a processor-in-the loop (PIL) technique to emulate the dynamics of complex systems
