Erickson, Robert W., Fundamentals of Power Electronics, New York: Chapman & Hall, c 1997. xviii, 773 p. ISBN: 0412085410 (alk. paper), LCCN: 96038347

This books serves as a text book for introductory power electronics courses where the fundamentals of power electronics are defined, rigorously presented, and treated in sufficient depth so that students acquire the knowledge and skills needed to design practical power electronic systems. An additional goal was to contribute as a reference book for engineers who practice power electronics design. A second edition with the same goals but expanded topics is available. Topics include: introduction; converters in equilibrium; principles of steady-state converter analysis; steady-state equivalent circuit modeling, losses, and efficiency; switch realization; the discontinuous conduction mode; converter circuits; converter dynamics and control; ac equivalent circuit modeling; converter transfer functions; controller design; ac and dc equivalent circuit modeling of the discontinuous conduction mode; current programmed control; magnetics; basic magnetics theory; filter inductor design; transformer design; modern rectifiers and power system harmonics; power and harmonics in nonsinusoidal systems; line-commutated rectifiers; the ideal rectifier; low harmonic rectifier modeling and control; resonant converts; resonate conversion; quasi-resonant converters; RMS values of commonly-observed converter waveforms; magnetic design tables; and averaged switch modeling of a CCM SEPIC.
