3.0 out of 5 stars
Good overview ... a bit thin on some subjects,
By marctt (Harvard, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power Electronics: Converters, Applications, and Design, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
Good power electronics textbook. I use it for my power electronics course at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. It covers a lot of material well, including switching power converters, thermal and magnetics design. It's a bit thin in some important subjects, such as current mode control.Marc T. Thompson, Ph.D.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good survey, but not exactly what I was looking for,

This review is from: Power Electronics: Converters, Applications, and Design (Hardcover)
This is a great survey of power electronics for someone with a modest electrical engineering background. It presents terminology, hardware, circuits and analysis in an approachable and well organized way. After reading it, someone with little prior experience can have a clear sense of what the field is about, what devices are available, and what technology is appropriate for specific power and voltage levels.
That said, as another reviewer pointed out, the book is a little light on math and detailed circuit topology. Erickson and Maksimovic was a much better fit for my needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Had What I needed.,
This review is from: Power Electronics: Converters, Applications, and Design (Hardcover)
Although a little light on full converter schematics, this textbook contained excellent descriptions of converter building blocks and semiconductor device physics. It is excellent that it came with a simulator program too.
