Description
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive book focuses on DC–DC switching power supply circuits, which are receiving attention as a key technology in green IT, especially in the automotive and consumer electronics industries. It covers buck converters, isolated converters, PFC converters, their modeling and analysis, several control methods, passive components, and their several recent applications (on-chip power supplies, DC–DC and AC–DC converter applications, single-inductor multi-output DC–DC converters, energy harvest applications, wireless power delivery, charge pump circuits, and power amplifiers). The contents are well balanced as the authors are from both academia and industry and include pioneers and inventors of hysteretic PWM control.
Trade Review"This book presents basic switching converters and control schemes, isolated converters, application circuits, passive parts which are used in switching converters, wireless power delivery, switched-capacitor power supply circuits, high-power GaN HEMT for cellular base station and so on. It widely explains power management from its basics to applications, thus facilitating understanding."

"This unique handbook describes a wide variety of power converters, from front-end to point-of-load, and integrated power circuits on a silicon chip. It has the potential to inspire research and development groups and students in the world."
—Dr. Kenichi Onda, Nippon Chemi-Con Corp., Japan
"I think the authors have explained circuits and their waveforms and formulas in this book clearly and accurately. The book has enough basic information to design a switching converter."
—Prof. Fujio Kurokawa, Nagasaki University, Japan
"This book presents both the basic characteristics and the application aspects of switching power converters. It is very useful for many engineers and students related to developing high-efficiency power converters for energy saving."
—Prof. Emeritus Tamotsu Ninomiya, Kyushu University, Japan
"This book presents the fundamentals of power supply and power conversion circuits and a systematic review of the most widely used power conversion circuits It describes passive component characteristics (capacitors, inductors, and transformers) intended to help in proper part selection. This well-written text contains all the essential fundamentals of low-voltage power converters with many circuits and illustrations and is an excellent resource for those who want to learn how to design and construct power converters for low-voltage applications."
