This site includes an interactive Java applet for control systems. Users may drag open-loop corner frequencies with the mouse to improve tracking performance and reject sensor noise in a unity-feedback system.

This animation, created by faculty at Dartmouth University, is a boost converter. The resource features other animations including buck and discontinuous converters. The site also depicts simple diode, bridge, and half-wave with cap rectifiers.

This website from the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College features an animation of a buck converter. A buck converter is a step-down DC to DC converter. The design is similar to the step-up boost converter, and like the boost converter it is a switched-mode power supply that uses two...
