Fundamentals of Power Electronics, Third Edition, is an up-to-date and authoritative text and reference book on power electronics. 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: new material on switching loss mechanisms and their modeling; wide bandgap semiconductor devices; a more rigorous treatment of averaging; explanation of the Nyquist stability criterion; incorporation of the Tan and Middlebrook model for current programmed control; a new chapter on digital control of switching converters; major new chapters on advanced techniques of design-oriented analysis including feedback and extra-element theorems; average current control; new material on input filter design; new treatment of averaged switch modeling, simulation, and indirect power;and sampling effects in DCM, CPM, and digital control. Fundamentals of Power Electronics, Third 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. Review: Supplemental textbook for my Adv. Power Elec. Course - Excellent book for power electronics. Small signal analsis was extremely helpful for control loop design. Highly recommend. Review: Excellent - This is an excellent book on Power Electronics. Best one in my library of many. Covers a lot, and it's explained well. There are a few times where the authors seem to skip over important steps without explaining, but those are rare.

Textbook
This book is being used to teach. I purchased for my faculty member. It is exactly what he needs.

Unwieldy in its present binding on one single volume. Should be offered as two volumes.
On the positive side: The book is very good in its detailed explanation of mathematical models of power converters, how to model power converters for computer simulation, Middlebrook's Extra Element Theorem, design of magnetics and many other topics of power electronics design. On the negative side: The book is 1084 pages long. Binding a book this long in ONE SINGLE VOLUME is a very dumb choice. The book is unwieldy to handle. Want to take the book to school to study there? Forget about it. The book will take all the space in your bag. Why not bind this book in TWO SEPARATE VOLUMES???

Binding is as bad as the reviews say.
As so many other reviewers have said, the binding is simply unacceptable for a book of this size — and cost. Picture was taken when the book was just out of the package. It had never even been opened and already the pages are letting go from the cover.

Terrible book binding
Content is fine. However book binding is terrible. Front and back cover detaches from bound pages.

Great book. Horrid book binding
The book has exceptional content, it's *the* reference book for power management system design. The binding is another story though. My book had 34 pages fall out as soon as I opened it and at least another 100 pages seem ready to fall out. The glue used at the printing plant not only seemed insufficient but looked like it was crumbling already.

Great book but poor binding
This book is an excellent EE resource for power electronics. I really like it, and always the first book I grab to use as reference in power electronics. However, I have to use extra glue to reinforce the binding. The binding is very poor.

Great Material, Poor Binding
The material covered in this book is absolutely fantastic. However, the quality of the hardcover is severely lacking. At 1084 pages, this is a hefty text and the weak and low quality binding feels substandard. I don't see it lasting very long with any significant use. Does not help that Amazon shipped the book by just throwing it into a padded envelope with no support. Luckily it arrived safely, but looking at past reviews you can see that not everyone was as lucky.
