Discrete and Integrated Power Semiconductor Devices

Power Semiconductor Devices Theory and Applications Vít???zslav Benda Czech Technical University, Prague, Czech Republic John Gowar Duncan A. Grant University of Bristol, UK Recent advances in robotics, automatic control and power conditioning systems have prompted research into increasingly sophisticated power semiconductor devices. This cutting-edge text explores the design, physical processes and applications performance of current power semiconductor devices. The extensive scope covers the complete range of discrete and integrated devices now available. Features include: * Use of physical models to explain the device structures and functions without complicated mathematical techniques * Explanation of the structure, function, characteristics and features of the most important discrete and integrated power devices * Demonstration of the influence of construction and technological parameters on important device characteristics * Sections on power modules and conditions for reliable operation plus a look at future materials and devices This valuable reference encompassing the structure, operation and application of power semiconductor devices will benefit both practising electronics engineers and students of power electronics.

Power Electronics Handbook

Power electronics, which is a rapidly growing area in terms of research and applications, uses modern electronics technology to convert electric power from one form to another, such as ac-dc, dc-dc, dc-ac, and ac-ac with a variable output magnitude and frequency. Power electronics has many applications in our every day life such as air-conditioners, electric cars, sub-way trains, motor drives, renewable energy sources and power supplies for computers. This book covers all aspects of switching devices, converter circuit topologies, control techniques, analytical methods and some examples of their applications.* 25% new content* Reorganized and revised into 8 sections comprising 43 chapters* Coverage of numerous applications, including uninterruptable power supplies and automotive electrical systems* New content in power generation and distribution, including solar power, fuel cells, wind turbines, and flexible transmission
