Integrated Circuits for Power Conversion: Modeling, Optimization, Design and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

With the increase of autonomous and electric vehicles such as drone, electric scooters and bikes, the miniaturization of power electronics becomes of critical importance. The development of small and efficient converters for driving these vehicles with the minimal weight and size is creating new ways of displacement. In this sphere, power integrated circuits are a key part for driving electric machines. In general, a power integrated circuit includes a power stage and the intelligence which allows controlling such machines, however there are other many types of integrated circuits for power electronics which also play important roles in the power conversion such as monitoring integrated circuits.

This special issue aims to gather articles which will cover a vast range of integrated circuits for power electronics including battery monitoring and protection, low power regulators, switching regulators, drivers for wide band semiconductors such as Gallium Nitride and Silicon Carbide, high-voltage and current meters. Particularly the special issue is focused on modeling, design methodology, optimization techniques and applications. Experimental validations at different power levels will be appreciated. In addition, comprehensive methodologies for design procedures are also valuable.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
