Butthis model is difficult to apply even to the most basic power conversion circuits; while signalprocessing functions are often available as discrete components, most modern power circuits arehighly integrated out of necessity. While it is possible to base a lab exercise on an off-the-shelfmonolithic power converter, much of the operation is hidden, and quality oscilloscopes andcurrent probes are out of reach for many schools.
