The most comprehensive book on power supply design--fully updated with the latest techniques
Switchmode Power Supply Handbook, Third Edition is a thoroughly overhauled edition of the industry-leading, practical guide for power supply designers. The book now addresses the new design techniques required for powering the small, high-performance electronic devices in use today. Based on the author’s 45 years of experience, the book is filled with real-world solutions and avoids unnecessarily complicated mathematical derivations and theory. It provides practical techniques in power supply design and clear, step-by-step approaches to component decisions. The many worked examples included are based on actual working prototypes. In-depth topics such as electromagnetic interference, line filters, fuse selection, and active power factor correction are covered.
Switchmode Power Supply Handbook, Third Edition features:
- New coverage of the latest techniques for powering modern electronics
- Highly visual layout with proven design examples throughout
- Supporting mathematical derivations in appendix form for easy access
- Coverage of the design of high-frequency transformers and chokes
- Worked problems at the end of each chapter
