CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.0 based on 2 reviews)

Had What I needed.

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.

Good overview ... a bit thin on some subjects

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.
