[Invited Talk] Looking Back on my Switching Power Supply Research -- Passing the Torch --
Tetsuro Tanaka (Kagoshima Univ.) EE2025-34
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) My graduation thesis led me to dedicate over 40 years to research on switching power supplies. This period spans two-thirds of the history of switching power supply research, which evolved from the aerospace field in the 1960s. This report looks back on my research and introduces three topics: LC snubber, random-switching technique, and extended state-space averaging method. As an inventory of my research, it also touches on unpublished studies and ideas.
