I'm looking for book recommendations in the area of power electronics
design.  Something that covers components such as thyristors, IGBTs,
magnetics, etc. along with the design of high power solutions for
applications such as motor control, ac lamp dimming, ac load switching,
switch mode and linear power supplies, etc.  I'm looking for both the
theoretical side and the practical side to the problem. I'd don't expect
one
book will cover this all.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Amazon awaits my credit card!

Thanks,

Dave Challis


Put your credit card away :-), The best references I've come accross are
the reference manuals from ON semiconductor. Best part is thier free
(though I think they're charging for shipping now)

Head on over to http://www.onsemi.com/site/support/orderLiterature and
check out the offerings. Looks like these might be of intrest:

BIPOLAR POWER TRANSISTOR DATA R8
POWER MOSFETS R7
THYRISTOR DEVICE DATA R7
POWER CONVERSION SOLUTIONS SELECTOR GUIDE R4
SWITCHMODE(TM) POWER SUPPLY REFERENCE MANUAL R3
