Provides a wide range of indepth coverage of both semiconductor device theory and device application in power electronics. Material covered gives the reader a sound appreciation of the device types, their operating mechanisms and limitations -- all of which is required for correct device selection. 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. Features numerous diagrams and problems with numerical answers.
