This book describes the sneak circuit phenomena in power converters, introduces some SCA methods for power electronic systems and proposes how to eliminate and make use of sneak circuits. Topics include: fundamental concepts, SCA of resonant switched capacitor converters, SC of DC-DC converters, SC analysis method (including Boolian matrix), and applications of SC in power converters. It highlights the advanced research works in the sneak circuit analysis and offers guidelines for industry professionals involved in the design of power electronic systems, enabling early detection of potential problems.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
