2.0 out of 5 stars maybe a little bit outdated..., May 5, 2000

Peter Rohrer (Switzerland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Power Supplies Switching Regulators, Inverters, and Converters (Paperback)

The book gives a solid base on the different principles of converters and inverters. But I also expected to see ICs included as they were already available back in 1993! A chapter on the influence of different core materials and their calculation is, in my eyes, missing for this book to be a complete reference.

1.0 out of 5 stars A useless book, August 21, 2003

Marek Krasuski (Warsaw Poland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Power Supplies Switching Regulators, Inverters, and Converters (Paperback)

Book just skims the topics mentioned in its title - just a disordered collection of a bit outdated drawings with childlike commentary. No word about power conversion essentials: topologies, magnetics, feedback, stability, EMI, power semiconductors.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Power for All!, March 7, 1999

Neil W.Fisk (nfisk@compusmart.ab.ca) (Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Power Supplies Switching Regulators, Inverters, and Converters (Paperback)

What may be surprising is that this book gives the designer peace of mind and good thought process for his/her design.The topics inside uncover tips and techniques to overcome some of the drawbacks and sacrifices of designing a good "Work Horse" power supply. I'm delighted that I bought the book,and you find that 75,000 readers are one step ahead of you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poorly organized. Avoid and find a better tool!
I cannot recommend this book to anyone involved in power supply design. I find that it is very poorly organized, and fails to explore many key topics in much depth. Read more
