For one- or two-semester undergraduate courses in Power Electronics.

With numerous design examples, illustrations and problems, as well as clearly defined learning objectives for each chapter, the text presents an easy-to-understand development of theory and engineering design aspects of power electronic systems. It provides a conceptual foundation across several disciplines, including electronic devices and circuits, signals and systems, motor drives and control systems. The text then addresses topics unique to power electronics, such as power utilization, quality, interfacing, and design issues. MATLAB is used throughout the text as a tool for enhancing the understanding of converter operation modes by simplifying the necessary mathematical calculations. The text is aimed for the undergraduate courses in engineering programs. It will be above the level of the courses in the technology programs.

From the Back Cover:

This undergraduate textbook features strong pedagogical support, complete with numerous examples, illustrations, problems, clearly stated objectives, and summaries. MATLAB examples are used extensively throughout the book, making math simpler. MATLAB is also used as a tool to enhance understanding of converter operation modes without the need for complex mathematical analysis. The emphasis is not on derivation of formulas but on their interpretation, implication, and application. The book integrates PSPICE circuit simulation throughout the discussion of each topic, and simulation is treated as an integral part of the analysis and design of power electronic circuits.

Divided into four parts, the book presents an array of design examples and problems to keep up with current trends, and satisfies a portion of the ABET design requirements for accreditation. It stands out as a comprehensive, practical, and current textbook in power electronics.
