Williams, B W

This book bridges the gap between semiconductor device theory and device application in the area of power electronics. Part 1 covers power device electrical and thermal characteristics and how they relate to a device's physical structure. Devices considered include the thyristor, gto. mosfet and bipolar transistor. Part 2 describes driving and protection techniques. Part 3 gives a general selection of power electronic applications.
