Many advances and new concepts have emerged since the second edition of this book was published in 2005. This third edition includes a brand-new chapter on applications of switching converters and addresses new subjects, including LED drivers, and DC-DC converters both for solar panels and for fuel cells. This book also covers converter power management, phase-shift PWM, and low-noise and bidirectional DC-DC converters, featuring a non-linear discrete model of the DC-DC converter itself. The text discusses and applies new simulation tools such as PSIM, LTSPICE, and POWERESIM, and it provides additional and updated information on digital control of DC-DC converters, switched capacitor converters, and power factor controllers.
