Power Electronics and Energy Conversion Systems: Switched-Capacitor and Switched-Inductor Converters

The second book of a five-volume reference guide to electronic circuits outlining and comparing classic and up-to-date energy conversion solutions, this book presents the latest switched-capacitor converters and their various applications This unique and comprehensive five volume set (totalling 2144pp) focuses on the study of both classical and state-of-the-art power conversion electronic circuits, and their wide variety of applications in electronic equipment. It includes many recent research advancements that have been previously unpublished and that are currently impacting the industry. Each volume is organised in basic-to-sophisticated crescendo, appealing to senior undergraduate and graduate electrical engineering minor students and major students, researchers and designers. Each volume builds on the previous volume, with a structure that facilitates access to most complex solutions for all readers. Volume II is split into two parts. The first part covers state-of-the-art switched-capacitor (SC) converters, commonly used in hand-held devices and personal communications equipment. The authors discuss their original work, shedding light on power converters that are used in all current modems, servers and mobile applications. The second part of this book looks at converters with high DC voltage ratio. The unique material gives a clear explaination of converters in the telecommunication industry, and those that are associated with alternative sources of energy. * Covers all the latest updates to switched-capacitor converter technology, including work originally pioneered by the Authors * Explains power converters that are used in all current mobile applications, servers and modems * Contains unique, 100% previously unpublished material on switched-capacitor converters A valuable resource for Practising engineers, researchers and designers, from all industries using power electronics circuits- aerospace, integrated circuits, consumer electronics, and renewable energy, also power supply (converter) designers, procurement managers and engineering managers.
