Book excerpt: An introductory textbook in power electronics for electronic engineers. Acknowledging the very wide scope of power electronics, this book aims to approach the subject from the low power end of the spectrum. The first three chapters review the background technology of power electronics, covering active devices, thermal modelling and magnetics, while the rest of the book examines techniques and applications, in particular high frequency switching techniques. There are numerous review questions and worked examples; coverage of DC power supplies from simple to SMPs; case studies of switching regulations; and full listings provided for computer simulation examples using PSpice.
