"This book presents basic switching converters and control schemes, isolated converters, application circuits, passive parts which are used in switching converters, wireless power delivery, switched-capacitor power supply circuits, high-power GaN HEMT for cellular base station and so on. It widely explains power management from its basics to applications, thus facilitating understanding."—Masashi Ochiai, Sanken Electric Co., Ltd., Japan"This unique handbook describes a wide variety of power converters, from front-end to point-of-load, and integrated power circuits on a silicon chip. It has the potential to inspire research and development groups and students in the world." —Dr. Kenichi Onda, Nippon Chemi-Con Corp., Japan"I think the authors have explained circuits and their waveforms and formulas in this book clearly and accurately. The book has enough basic information to design a switching converter." —Prof. Fujio Kurokawa, Nagasaki University, Japan"This book presents both the basic characteristics and the application aspects of switching power converters. It is very useful for many engineers and students related to developing high-efficiency power converters for energy saving." —Prof. Emeritus Tamotsu Ninomiya, Kyushu University, Japan "This book presents the fundamentals of power supply and power conversion circuits and a systematic review of the most widely used power conversion circuits It describes passive component characteristics (capacitors, inductors, and transformers) intended to help in proper part selection. This well-written text contains all the essential fundamentals of low-voltage power converters with many circuits and illustrations and is an excellent resource for those who want to learn how to design and construct power converters for low-voltage applications."—IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, Jan–Feb 2017
