- Page ii, small-print disclaimer near bottom of page
contains two misspelled words - Page 10, paragraph beginning "Design of the converter..."
"line-to-transfer functions" should read "line-to-output transfer functions" - Page 49, Eq. (3.19)
RHS of equation should be divided by R - Page 86, Fig. 4.35(a)
Units of horizontal axis should be A - Page 172, Fig. 6.36
The bottom of the figure is cut off. Transistor Q4 conducts during the first subinterval of every switching period. - Page 180, third line under heading 6.4.2
typo "votlage" should read "voltage" - Page 181, Table 6.2
Values of L and C are missing. The values are: L = 25.96 uH, C = 25.0 uF. - Page 188, problem 6.8(d)
Forward voltage drops of diodes D1 and D2 are equal to 0.7 V. - Page 237, second line following Eq. (7.126)
"small" should read "smaller" - Page 241, third paragraph, first line
reads "valiables" -- should read "variables" - Page 250, Equation (7.144)
should read: e(s) = (Vg - V) - sLI/DD' (plus sign should be minus sign) - Page 275, Figure 8.15
Phase asymptote for frequencies between 10*f1 and f2/10 should be +90 deg instead of -90 deg. - Pages 289-293, Equation (8.112) and Table 8.2
Missing factor of D' in Eq. (8.112). Mistake propagates to Eqs. (8.113), (8.121), (8.123), (8.124), (8.127), and Fig. 8.26. Buck-boost Gd0 entry in Table 8.2 is also incorrect. Corrected Section 8.2.1 and Table 8.2 are in attached pdf file. - Page 300, line following Eq. (8.144)
Should read: "Subsitution of Eq. (8.142) into Eq. (8.144) leads to" - Page 311, last sentence
is missing a period - Page 333, fourth line following Eq. (9.20)
reads "simple" -- should be "simply" - Page 347, first line of text
Equation reference should read "Eq. (7.149)" - Page 366, Problem 9.8, last sentence of paragraph (before (a))
should read "The pulse-width modulator circuit obeys Eq. (7.149)." -- not "(7.132)" - Page 385, Table 10.2
g2 for the buck-boost converter is equal to 2/MRe - Page 419, Figure 11.12(a)
ig(t) is the current flowing out of the source vg(t) - Page 427, Figure 11.20
Value of ac resistance is inverted. The value should read: -R/D^2 - Page 488, second paragraph, fourth sentence
Change "greater" to "smaller", so that the sentence reads: "The skin depth d is smaller for high frequencies..." - Page 516, Equations (14.14) and (14.15)
Summation limits should be j = 1 to k - Page 519, Equation (14.28)
should contain a factor of 4 in denominator - Page 534, Equation (14.84)
should read: Bpk = Bmax + LIdc/nAc - Page 546, Equation (15.14)
Power loss should be (rms voltage)^2 / Rshunt
- Page 548, last sentence
change "displacement factor" to "distortion factor"
- Page 576, end of first sentence after Eq. (16.12)
is should read ir - Page 637, Equation (18.27)
Corrected version is in attached pdf file. - Page 654, Figure 18.20, and Problem 18.2
Flyback transformer turns ratio is 1:1 - Appendix 3, page 760, Figure A3.3
Polarity of dependent current source should be reversed.
