Power Semiconductor Devices: Principles and Applications

Lecture 1: Power Semiconductor Devices — The Big Picture

What Power Semiconductor Devices Do

  • These devices work as switches without mechanical movement.
  • They control large power flow using a small control signal.

Main Device Groups

  • Diodes: Turned on and off by the power circuit.
  • Thyristors: Can be latched ON by the control signal, but OFF by the power circuit.
  • Controllable switches: Can be turned ON and OFF by the control signal.

Common Power Devices

  • Power diode
  • Power MOSFET
  • Power BJT
  • IGBT
  • Thyristor family:

1984: Orwell’s Vision of Control and Modern Reality

1984 and Modern Society: Parallels in Control

In 1984, life was built on control: control of truth, control of people, and control of daily life. At first, this world seems extreme, but when we look closer at today’s society, some similarities begin to appear.

  • The Manipulation of Reality: In the novel, reality is not fixed. The Party changes the past whenever it wants, and people are expected to accept the new version without question. Winston rewrites newspapers so that the Party is always right.

Manual vs Computerized Accounting: Key Concepts and Features

Manual vs. Computerized Accounting

  • Manual Accounting: Transactions are recorded in physical books. Calculations are manual, increasing human error risk. The process is slow, and reporting is delayed.
  • Computerized Accounting: Data is entered once into software. Calculations are automated for high accuracy. It is fast, efficient, and allows for instant report generation.

The Main Difference

In manual accounting, you perform all recording, posting, and totaling. In computerized accounting, you only handle
