Title: First Course on Power Electronics and Drives

Author: Ned Mohan

Publisher: MNPERE

Publication Date: 2003-07-15

Number Of Pages: 248

Designed with undergraduate students in mind who are likely to take only one course on this subject:

-Prepare them for industry

-Impart fundamentals and provide a roadmap for life-long learning

-Provide breadth and depth in less than 250 pages

-Based on feedback from over 350 faculty members at workshops in 1991, 1994, 1997, 1998, 2002 and 2003.

The CD-ROM accompanying this ****book has the following unique features:

- Prepared Lecture Slides with Examples (great for students too!)

- PSpice 9.1 student version ready-to-install (nothing to download or order)

- PSpice-based realistic Examples and Problems

- Hardware-Lab-on-a-CD: contains hardware lab setups and the measured (NOT simulated ) waveforms.

Comparison with other ****books on this subject:

- Only 248 pages allow coverage from front-to-back in one semester

- Prepared (ready-to-run) Examples on the CD can be easily modified for assigning realistic homework problems

- Prepared Lectures Slides save instructors valuable preparation time

- Actual Hardware Lab measured waveforms make it real (next best to having lab setups in your school)

- Total Experience – What is Power without Control?

A unique system focus that presents specific solutions for specific appliances

This publication presents state-of-the-art power management techniques for modern electronic appliances that rely on such very large-scale integration (VLSI) chips as CPUs and DSPs. The author thoroughly covers all aspects of the field, including semiconductor manufacturing processes, packages, circuits, functions, and systems. A unique and significant contribution to the field, the publication adopts a "system focus" by first presenting the appliance and then delving into the power management architecture and topologies that best serve each appliance.

In addition to specific techniques and applications, the publication discusses fundamental physical and socioeconomic issues. For example, the author examines Moore's law and its effect on power management and heat dissipation, which points to a future breakthrough needed to continue the fast pace of advancement in the high-tech industry.

The author provides a solid technical foundation and an analysis of popular electronic appliances, including:

* Overview of the semiconductor industry

* Plain-English discussion of semiconductor processes and packages

* Step-by-step guide to analog design building from the transistor to higher-level functions, leading to the implementation of a complete voltage regulator

* Popular DC-DC voltage regulation architectures

* AC-DC architectures for power conversion

* Ultra-portable devices, such as cellular phones, PDAs, and digital still cameras

* Desktop and notebook PCs

The publication concludes with a chapter on special power management topics and an expert forecast of future directions for the field. This is essential reading for researchers, engineers, and designers in the semiconductor and integrated circuits industries. With its extensive use of cross-section drawings as well as transistor circuit schematics, this is also a recommended textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in computer science and electrical engineering.
