Thanks! I am rarely more than 2 meters away from my copies of Ott and Paul when I'm working. I'm wondering what's out there that's more focused on power electronics. In my dream world, there's a book for power electronics that's the equivalent of what Howard Johnson's "High Speed Digital Design: A Handbook of Black Magic" is for signal integrity.
