About this title

Synopsis

An introductory text in power electronics for students in electronic engineering, approaching the subject from the low power end of the spectrum. After a detailed review of the background technology of power electronics, the rest of the book examines techniques and applications, particularly high frequency switching techniques for power conversion. Includes self-assessment questions and exercises and answers, worked examples, case studies, and full listings for computer simulation examples using PSpice.

From the Back Cover

Introduces power electronics with the low-power information most students and engineers are likely to be most interested in.This book introduces the most important topics in power electronics, especially at low power levels. It covers DC power supplies, from simple to SMPs -- an area of great importance not always adequately covered in other books. It covers active devices such as transistors and thyristors, as well as thermal modeling. It covers the magnetic circuit model, transformers and inductors. It includes case studies of switching regulators, covering practical design issues. The book also presents extensive examples using simulations of circuit behavior, allowing the reader to experiment. Includes extensive worked examples, review questions, problems, case studies, and listings for computer simulation examples.All engineers and students concerned with the field of power electronics.
