In “On the Origin of Species” by Charles Darwin, evolution is the primary principle of generating offsprings from the original species through natural selection. Evolution is the process of change in all forms of life over generations. Biological populations evolve through genetic changes that correspond to changes in the organisms' observable traits. Genetic changes include mutations, which are caused by damage or replication errors in organisms' DNA. As the genetic variation of a population drifts randomly over generations, natural selection gradually leads traits to become more or less common based on the relative reproductive success of organisms with those traits. The above statements are digested from “Introduction to Evolution” in Wikipedia. DNA carries codes for heredity through the mechanisms of replication, mutation, and natural selection in diverging species from the original one. Offsprings decode parental DNA for synthesizing all tissues and organs. In general, we are all a family and have the same ancestor.

Analogously, this book is entitled “Origin of Power Converters,” and we are searching for possible similar mechanisms for evolving power converters from the original converter. We will develop the decoding and synthesizing mechanisms for evolving power converters artificially. Additionally, we will make use of fundamental circuit theories to extend the converters with soft‐switching features and isolation.
