Gabriel Alfonso Rincón-Mora has published a new textbook entitled “Switched Inductor Power IC Design.”

Rincón-Mora is a Motorola Solutions Foundation Professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). He is a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and a fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). The IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CAS) selected him IEEE Distinguished Lecturer in 2009–2010, 2018–2019, and 2022–2023.

The new 524-page textbook, published by Springer Nature, evolved from the material Rincón-Mora developed for ECE 6445 Power IC Design course, which he derived from field and research experience. The book uses design insight, real-life examples, illustrative figures, easy-to-follow equations, and simple SPICE code to show how semiconductor devices (diodes, bipolar-junction transistors (BJTs), and metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) field-effect transistors (FETs)) work independently and collectively in switched-inductor power supplies; how these power supplies transfer power, consume power, and react and respond across frequency; how feedback loops switch, control, and stabilize them; and how the building blocks that comprise them are implemented and designed.
