About the Authors

Substantially expanded and updated, the new edition of this classic textbook provides unrivalled coverage of the fundamentals of power electronics. Comprehensive coverage of foundational concepts in circuits, magnetics, devices, dynamic models, and control establishes a strong conceptual framework for further study. Extensive discussion of contemporary practical considerations, enhanced by real-world examples, prepares readers for design scenarios ranging from low-power dc/dc converters to multi-megawatt ac machine drives. New topics include SiC and GaN wide-bandgap materials, superjunction MOSFET and IGBT devices, advanced magnetics design, multi-level and switched-capacitor converters, RF converter circuits, and EMI. Over 300 new and revised end-of-chapter problems enhance and expand understanding of the material, with solutions for instructors. Unique in its breadth and depth, and providing a range of flexible teaching pathways at multiple levels, this is the definitive guide to power electronics for graduate and senior undergraduate students in electrical engineering, and practicing electrical engineers.
- Suitable for multiple course levels, from senior undergraduate to advanced graduate, by presenting the material from the fundamental principles
- Enables granular choices about the depth of study, with high-level introductory overviews leading to deeper theoretical discussion and then to practical applications
- Deepens students' understanding through end-of-chapter problems that apply the material to new scenarios

Reviews & endorsements
'Principles of Power Electronics was a landmark in power electronics pedagogy when it was first published more than three decades ago. It is thrilling to see how these distinguished authors have not only thoroughly brought the book's core contents up to date, but also expanded its coverage to include several new topics that are increasingly important for students to learn as they prepare to enter this exciting field. Bravo!' Thomas Jahns, University Wisconsin, Madison
'The second edition of the Principles of Power Electronics makes this classic book even more valuable. The book teaches power electronics from the ground up, providing the formal framework to learn its fundamentals and many advanced topics. This highly accessible book is an excellent text for a foundational course in power electronics. A must-have for both beginners and experienced practitioners.' Khurram Afridi, Cornell University
'The new edition of Principles of Power Electronics is a must for anyone in the field of power electronics, from the student learner to a working professional. The coverage is comprehensive, with detailed explanations backed up by well-chosen worked examples and illustrative problems. The treatment of magnetics, analysis, and design is particularly strong and a welcome addition.' Gerard Hurley, University of Galway
