This six-part book fully and completely explains the principles, models, and technical requirements of power electronics at a higher level than is currently published. The book moves logically from theory to application-specific material, covering in one source what readers are currently finding in two or more texts. Bob Erickson creates the context in Parts 1 and 2 of his book covering converter circuits and electronics, semiconductor devices, analytical assessment techniques, converter topologies, and AC-modeling of DC converters. Later chapters cover theory, design, and application techniques for control systems, magnetics, converters, inverters, and filters. Each chapter includes homework problems, step-by-step design techniques, and real-world examples.

Powerfully good,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Power Electronics (Second Edition) (Hardcover)
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.

Execellent Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fundamentals of Power Electronics (Second Edition) (Hardcover)
First off, this book is NOT a cookbook. It will not tell you how to design a power supply for a specific application. But this is not the books purpose. This book is written for those who wish to understand in depth knowledge of power conversion. It is written as a text book. If the reader took the time to understand what is written (and it is written well) then the person would be able to design a power supply for any application using any topolgy. It teaches you the first principles of power conversion in order for you to apply it. Out of all my power electronic books this is my favorite book by far. If you are a power supply designer this book is a must.

Outstanding presentation and development,
By Roberto Rivera (P.R. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of Power Electronics (Hardcover)
This book helped me to really understand beyond the conceptual level. This book will guide the reader through the different aspects of analysis and design of power electronics systems without left behind the very practical hints. The course slides from the book web site are an excellent resource for instructors using this book. I dare my self to say that this book after Kassakian's is the best book in power electronics.
