Fundamentals of Power Electronics
[attachment=44810]
Accompanying material for instructors
The materials below are intended to be used by instructors of power electronics classes who have
adopted Fundamentals of Power Electronics as a text. These instructors may download and use the files
for educational purposes free of charge. Students and others who have purchased the text may also use
the slides as an educational supplement to the text. Other uses of these materials is prohibited. All slides
copyright R. W. Erickson 1997.
The slides for each chapter are contained in a .pdf file. These files can be read using the Adobe Acrobat
viewer, available free from the Adobe Acrobat web site. Slides and overhead transpariencies covering the
material of the entire book can be produced using these files.
About the second edition
A new textbook on power electronics converters. This book is
intended for use in introductory power electronics courses at the
senior and first-year graduate level. It is also intended as a
source for professionals working in power electronics, power
conversion, and analog electronics. It emphasizes the
fundamental concepts of power electronics, including averaged
modeling of PWM converters and fundamentals of converter
circuits and electronics, control systems, magnetics, lowharmonic
rectifiers, and resonant converters.
Resonant Converters
Resonant Conversion
The order of the sections has been changed, to improve readability. Section 19.4 has been modified, to
include better explanation of resonant inverter/electronic ballast design, and two examples have been
added. The material on the ZVT converter has been moved to Chapter 20.
Soft Switching
A new Section 20.1 compares the turn-on and turn-off transitions of diode, MOSFET, and IGBT devices
under the conditions of hard switching, zero-current switching, and zero-voltage switching. The material
on quasi-resonant converters is unchanged. Coverage of multi-resonant and quasi-squarewave switches
has been exapanded, and includes plots of switch characteristics. A new Section 20.4 has been added,
which covers soft-switching techniques. Included in Section 20.4 is an expanded explanation of the ZVT
full-bridge converter, new material on active-clamp snubbers, and a short treatment of the auxiliary
resonant commutated pole. The material on ac modeling of ZCS quasi-resonant converters has been
dropped.
