Digital Power Electronics and Applications Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nothing new. Just repeat from old text books under a new book heading. All theory, no practical working examples. A flop attempt in a difficult engineering area.
Th book will sell because of its name, but once you read it, you will get the same above feeling as mine.

The purpose of this book is to describe the theory of Digital Power Electronics and its applications. The authors apply digital control theory to power electronics in a manner thoroughly different from the traditional, analog control scheme. In order to apply digital control theory to power electronics, the authors define a number of new parameters, including the energy factor, pumping energy, stored energy, time constant, and damping time constant.These parameters differ from traditional parameters such as the power factor, power transfer efficiency, ripple factor, and total harmonic distortion.These new parameters result in the definition of new mathematical modeling:. A zero-order-hold (ZOH) is used to simulate all AC/DC rectifiers.. A first-order-hold (FOH) is used to simulate all DC/AC inverters.. A second-order-hold (SOH) is used to simulate all DC/DC converters.. A first-order-hold (FOH) is used to simulate all AC/AC (AC/DC/AC) converters. * Presents most up-to-date methods of analysis and control algorithms for developingpower electronic converters and power switching circuits* Provides an invaluable reference for engineers designing power converters, commercialpower supplies, control systems for motor drives, active filters, etc.* Presents methods of analysis not available in other books.

Power Supply Cookbook, Second Edition (EDN Series for Design Engineers) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book has a good level of detail overall. Brown's use of design examples give the reader enough meat to be of use in actual design situations. Also has a good section on thermal analysis/design and feedback loop compensation.

Power Supply Cookbook, Second Edition provides an easy-to-follow, step-by-step design framework for a wide variety of power supplies. With this book, anyone with a basic knowledge of electronics can create a very complicated power supply design in less than one day. With the common industry design approaches presented in each section, this unique book allows the reader to design linear, switching, and quasi-resonant switching power supplies in an organized fashion. Formerly complicated design topics such as magnetics, feedback loop compensation design, and EMI/RFI control are all described in simple language and design steps. This book also details easy-to-modify design examples that provide the reader with a design template useful for creating a variety of power supplies. This newly revised edition is a practical, "start-to-finish" design reference. It is organized to allow both seasoned and inexperienced engineers to quickly find and apply the information they need. Features of the new edition include updated information on the design of the output stages, selecting the controller IC, and other functions associated with power supplies, such as: switching power supply control, synchronization of the power supply to an external source, input low voltage inhibitors, loss of power signals, output voltage shut-down, major current loops, and paralleling filter capacitors. It also offers coverage of waveshaping techniques, major loss reduction techniques, snubbers, and quasi-resonant converters. * Guides engineers through a step-by-step design framework for a wide variety of power supplies, many of which can be designed in less than one day* Provides easy-to-understand information about often complicated topics, making power supply design a much more accessible and enjoyable process

Analog IC Design with Low-Dropout Regulators (LDOs) (Electronic Engineering) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been working as an IC designer specializing in power electronics for well over a decade. Over the course of my career I have been exposed to many text books. There are very few I would consider adding to my collection. As a point of reference I consider "Gray & Meyer" to be the gold standard of text books covering analog IC design.
I only ever feel compelled to write a review if the object of the review is either exceedingly excellent or exceedingly poor. In the case of this text I believe it is exceedingly excellent. It is an advanced text and therefore I would not recommend it to an undergraduate engineering student.
I have found the text to be both lucid and entertaining. The information is presented in a logical order and is germane to IC design in general. As implied by the title, this text book does not cover a wide array of topics like Gray & Meyer does, but the topics it does cover it covers very well.
The chapters are titled as follows:
1: System Considerations
2: Microelectronic Devices
3: Analog Building Blocks
4: Negative Feedback
5: AC Design
6: IC Design
7: System Design
8: IC Protection and Characterization
