Modern Power Electronics: Evolution, Technology and Applications (IEEE Press Selected Reprint Series)

Forty-nine selected papers from the ocean of published literature are arranged in eight sections, each with a bibliography, integrating low-power and high power electronics, the two directions in which the field has polarized. Circuit miniaturization is the principal focus of low-power electronics, which caters to the needs of switching-mode power supplies; moderate-to-high-power electronics focuses on cost, efficiency, size, and other performance improvements as they relate to motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies, and lighting and heat control.
