Reviews | ||
Power Designers Must Have This book is realy the most comprehensive and useable analysis of switch mode power I have seen. I would highly recommend for anyone who is designing or analyzing switch mode power. I would like like to see the authors publish a solutions handbook for the chapter problems. | ||
Simply the best of the best. No matter how much or how little you know about power electronics, fundamentals of Power Electronics by Erickson & Maksimoviac is the bible on power. Thorough, extremely well written full of references when you need to go deeper into any subject. Excellent problems with every chapter and very well organized | ||
Excellent, full of examples, easy to follow This book is one of the best, most thorough and well explained textbooks I have encountered in the past 5 years of school. The authors, one of whom is teaching my course, present their explanations in a way that is both thorough and accessible. This is not a cookbook by any means - it is a very solid, detailed foundation for power electronics, and doesn't gloss over the important concepts like other books in the field. If you're just looking for a reference book with equations, circuits, and tables, this isn't for you. However, if you're looking for a text to study and understand in detail, you'll be right at home. This book, when read and studied regularly, is very easy to follow and concepts are driven-home with solid examples. Very well done. | ||

Lots of information with some open ended information I would agree with the other reviewer that this is not a "how to" book. The book approaches the subject from an academic viewpoint. The reader is expected to fill in between the lines with previous experience. It appears that the authors, professors as U of C, supplement the text with worked out examples for their students. I would recomend it to people already versed in the subject and want more information.I found it for half price and this makes it worth buying as a reference. | ||
