Preface
In the past three decades, the field of power electronics has witnessed unprece-
dented growth inresearchand teachingworldwide, andhasemergedasaspecial-
ization in electrical engineering. This growth is due to expanding market demand
for integrated and networked power electronics-based circuits and systems in all
kinds of energy processing and conversion applications. Moreover, the need for
power electronics engineers and researchers equipped with knowledge of new
energyconversiontechnologieshasneverbeengreater.
Power Electronics is intended as a textbook to teach the subject of modern
power electronics to senior undergraduate and first-year graduate electrical engi-
neeringstudents.Becauseofthebreadthofthefieldofpowerelectronics,teaching
this subject toundergraduate studentsis a challenge. This textbook isdesignedto
introduce the basic concepts of power electronics to students and professionals
interestedinupdatingtheirknowledgeofthesubject.Theobjectiveofthistextbook
is to provide students with the ability to analyze and design power electronic
switchingcircuitsusedincommonindustrialapplications.
Theprerequisitesforthistextareafirstcourseincircuitanalysistechniquesand
a basic background in electronic circuits. Chapter 3 gives an overview of diode
switchingcircuitsandbasicanalysistechniquesthatstudentswillfindusefulinthe

Material Presentation
Unlikemanyexistingtextsinpowerelectronics,PowerElectronicstargetsmainly
senior undergraduate students majoring in electrical engineering. Since the text is
intendedtobeusedinathree-credit-hourcourseinpowerelectronics,topicssuchas
power semiconductor devices, machine drives, and utility applications are not
included. Because of limited lecture times, one course at the undergraduate level
cannot adequately cover such topics and still present all power electronic circuits

used in energy conversion. This text contains sufficient material for a single-
semesterintroductorypowerelectronicscoursewhilegivingtheinstructorflexibil-
ityintopictreatmentandcoursedesign.
The text is written in such a way as to equip students with the necessary
background material in such topics as devices, switching circuit analysis tech-
niques,convertertypes,andmethodsofconversioninthefirstthreechapters.The
presentation of the material is new and has been recommended by many power
electronics faculty. The discussion begins by introducing high-frequency,
non-isolated dc-to-dc converters in Chap. 4, followed by isolated dc-to-dc con-
verters in Chap. 5. Resonant soft-switching converters are treated early on in
Chap.6.ThetraditionaldiodeandSCRconvertersanddc-acinvertersarepresented
inthesecondpartofthetext,inChaps.7,8,and9,respectively.
Examples, Exercises, and Problems
Unlike many existing texts, this text provides students with a large number of
examples,exercises,andproblems,withdetaileddiscussionsonresonantandsoft-
switchingdc-to-dcconverters.

providing students with opportunities to apply design techniques. Such problems
are designated with the letter “D” next to the problem number, such as D5.32,
which is Design Problem # 32 in Chap. 5. Students should be aware that such
