Discusses the design principles, capabilities, and applications of power hybrid microcircuits and modules, detailing the operation of power semiconductors and passive components, the properties of materials, design guidelines, thermal management and control, and manufacturing technologies. Emphasizes the high reliability needed in off-the-counter power hybrids for commercial or military use. The topics include electronic packaging techniques, a variety of components and the principles of their operation, criteria for selecting specific materials, thermal management and control, and manufacturing. Addressed to engineers with little experience in the technology, though some parts would be of more use to managers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
