Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Fundamentals of Power Electronics, by Erickson and Maksimovic, has become one of my new favorite reference books for DC-DC Converter design. My library is full of similar books, but most only contain insignificant bits of information, are needlessly difficult, or just plain worthless (but a requisite in the power engineering bookcase). The massive FPE combines the best of them all, exceeding even my former favorites (those by Tater, Billings, or Pressman). Although written as a textbook with the usual exercises at the end of each chapter (and frustratingly, with no answers) it is full of practical, applicable information. It has excellent chapters on inductors and transformers, with practical information such as inter-weaved windings for reduced leakage. It has one of the best treatments of Bode plots than any one book I have contains (I can now retire my old Valkenburg). Thankfully, it does not waste pages with useless Nyquist or other esoteric loop stability analysis methods. Nice index and appendix. I wish Maksimovic had included a section on his famous switched-capacitor circuit, even if not technically a power circuit. I highly recommend this book for any engineer seriously involved in power electronics.

Fundamentals of Power Electronics, Second Edition, is anup-to-date and authoritative text and reference book on powerelectronics. This new edition retains the original objective andphilosophy of focusing on the fundamental principles, models, andtechnical requirements needed for designing practical power electronicsystems while adding a wealth of new material. Improved features of this new edition include:
A new chapter on input filters, showing how to design single andmultiple section filters;
Major revisions of material onaveraged switch modeling, low-harmonic rectifiers, and the chapter onAC modeling of the discontinuous conduction mode;
New materialon soft switching, active-clamp snubbers, zero-voltage transitionfull-bridge converter, and auxiliary resonant commutated pole. Also,new sections on design of multiple-winding magnetic and resonantinverter design;
Additional appendices on Computer Simulationof Converters using averaged switch modeling, and Middlebrook's ExtraElement Theorem, including four tutorial examples; and
Expandedtreatment of current programmed control with complete results forbasic converters, and much more.
This edition includes manynew examples, illustrations, and exercises to guide students andprofessionals through the intricacies of power electronics design.Fundamentals of Power Electronics, Second Edition, is intendedfor use in introductory power electronics courses and related fieldsfor both senior undergraduates and first-year graduate studentsinterested in converter circuits and electronics, control systems, andmagnetic and power systems. It will also be an invaluable referencefor professionals working in power electronics, power conversion, andanalog and digital electronics.
