Williams, B W

This book provides a wide range of indepth coverage of both semiconductor device theory and device application in power electronics. Material covered gives a sound appreciation of the device types, their operating mechanisms and limitations. Focusing on high-power devices, the book considers how device structure and construction are related to its terminal electrical and thermal construction. Also covered are the circuitry required to use power devices, interfacing and control requirements, and the structure and electrical characteristics of a device as they relate to its drive and protection.
