Fundamentals of Power Electronics


Robert W. Erickson - 1997
    This new edition retains the original objective and philosophy of focusing on the fundamental principles, models, and technical requirements needed for designing practical power electronic systems while adding a wealth of new material. Improved features of this new edition include: A new chapter on input filters, showing how to design single and multiple section filters; Major revisions of material on averaged switch modeling, low-harmonic rectifiers, and the chapter on AC modeling of the discontinuous conduction mode; New material on soft switching, active-clamp snubbers, zero-voltage transition full-bridge converter, and auxiliary resonant commutated pole. Also, new sections on design of multiple-winding magnetic and resonant inverter design; Additional appendices on Computer Simulation of Converters using averaged switch modeling, and Middlebrook's Extra Element Theorem, including four tutorial examples; and Expanded treatment of current programmed control with complete results for basic converters, and much more. This edition includes many new examples, illustrations, and exercises to guide students and professionals through the intricacies of power electronics design. Fundamentals of Power Electronics, Second Edition, is intended for use in introductory power electronics courses and related fields for both senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students interested in converter circuits and electronics, control systems, and magnetic and power systems. It will also be an invaluable reference for professionals working in power electronics, power conversion, and analog and digital electronics.

    More than a survey of Intel microprocessor chips, the text presents concepts relative to

CMOS: Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation


R. Jacob Baker - 1997
    Design concepts are presented as they are needed for 'just-in-time' learning. Simulating and designing circuits using SPICE is emphasized with literally hundreds of examples. Very few textbooks contain as much detail as this one. Highly recommended!" —Paul M. Furth, New Mexico State University "This book builds a solid knowledge of CMOS circuit design from the ground up. With coverage of process integration, layout, analog and digital models, noise mechanisms, memory circuits, references, amplifiers, PLLs/DLLs, dynamic circuits, and data converters, the text is an excellent reference for both experienced and novice designers alike." —Tyler J. Gomm, Design Engineer, Micron Technology, Inc. "The Second Edition builds upon the success of the first with new chapters that cover additional material such as oversampled converters and non-volatile memories. This is becoming the de facto standard textbook to have on every analog and mixed-signal designer's bookshelf." —Joe Walsh, Design Engineer, AMI Semiconductor CMOS circuits from design to implementation CMOS: Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation, Revised Second Edition covers the practical design of both analog and digital integrated circuits, offering a vital, contemporary view of a wide range of analog/digital circuit blocks, the BSIM model, data converter architectures, and much more. This edition takes a two-path approach to the topics: design techniques are developed for both long- and short-channel CMOS technologies and then compared. The results are multidimensional explanations that allow readers to gain deep insight into the design process. Features include: Updated materials to reflect CMOS technology's movement into nanometer sizes Discussions on phase- and delay-locked loops, mixed-signal circuits, data converters, and circuit noise More than 1,000 figures, 200 examples, and over 500 end-of-chapter problems In-depth coverage of both analog and digital circuit-level design techniques Real-world process parameters and design rules The book's Web site, CMOSedu.com, provides: solutions to the book's problems; additional homework problems without solutions; SPICE simulation examples using HSPICE, LTspice, and WinSpice; layout tools and examples for actually fabricating a chip; and videos to aid learning

Elements of Power Electronics


Philip T. Krein - 1997
    The field is growing rapidly because electrical devices need electronic circuits to process their energy. Elements of Power Electronics, the first undergraduate book to discuss this subject in a conceptual framework, provides comprehensive coverage of power electronics at a level suitable for undergraduate student engineers, students in advanced degree programs, and novices in the field. It aims to establish a fundamental engineering basis for power electronics analysis, design, and implementation, offering broad and in-depth coverage of basic material. The text's unifying framework includes the physical implications of circuit laws, switching circuit analysis, and the basis for converter operation and control. Dc-dc, ac-dc, dc-ac, and ac-ac conversion tasks are examined and principles of resonant converters and discontinuous converters are discussed. Models for real devices and components are developed in depth, including models for real capacitors, inductors, wire connections, and power semiconductors. Magnetic device design is introduced, and thermal management and drivers for power semiconductors are addressed. Control system aspects of converters are discussed, and both small-signal and geometric controls are explored. Many examples show ways to use modern computer tools such as Mathcad, Matlab, and Mathematica to aid in the analysis and design of conversion circuits. Featuring a fundamental approach to power electronics coupled with extensive discussion of design and implementation issues, Elements of Power Electronics serves as an ideal text for courses in power electronics and as a helpful guide for engineers new to the field. Special features of the text include: . More than 160 examples, particularly design examples, and 350 chapter problems that support the presented concepts. . An extensive World Wide Web site (http: //power.ece.uiuc.edu/krein_text) which includes additional problems, laboratory materials, selected solutions for students, computer-based examples, analysis tools for Mathcad, Matlab, and Mathematica, and author contact. . A solutions manual which will be made available to registered faculty via both the World Wide Web site (http: //power.ece.uiuc.edu/krein_text)and an ftp site (ftp: //power.ece.uiuc.edu/krein_text)."

Essentials of Robust Control


Kemin Zhou - 1997
    (PH, 1995), this book offers a streamlined approach to robust control that reflects the most recent topics and developments in the field. It features coverage of state-of-the-art topics, including gap metric, v-gap metric, model validation, and real mu.

Computer-Based Exercises for Signal Processing Using MATLAB Ver.5


James H. McClellen - 1997
    *Projects relate to practical systems and implementations so the reader can learn and understand how DSP is applied. *Includes projects and exercises, which make full use of the power of MATLAB v5 to explore conceptual, analytical, and computational issues in digital signal processing. *Many projects provide hints to introduce pitfalls, limitations and tricks for getting the most out of MATLAB v5. *Discusses both the power and limitations of MATLAB v5 functions and regularly explores the issue of using built-in functions versus developing code to solve problems. *Exercises consistently reinforce important problem solving behaviors, such as verifying results, experimenting with parameters as a means of building understanding and intuition, exploring the realism of formulations, comparing theoretical and numerical or measured results, and developing predictions and then comparing them to actual results.

Dynamic Simulations of Electric Machinery: Using Matlab/Simulink


Chee-Mun Ong - 1997
    This book covers the fundamentals of electrical system modeling and simulation, using two of the industry's most popular software packages, MATLAB and SIMULINK. It also shows how to interpret the results and use them in the design process. The book reviews the basics of magnetics and line modeling. It covers a wide range of electrical components and systems, including: transformers, electric machines, three-phase induction machines, synchronous machines, and DC machines. This standalone book with accompanying website (at www.informit.com/title/0137237855) offer a complete treatment from background theory and models to implementation and verification techniques for simulations and linear analysis of frequently studies machine systems. The project files were originally included in a CD that went with the book. With the changeover to "print on demand", the files can be found here: https: //engineering.purdue.edu/ ong/index_right.htm#book
