Fundamentals of Power Supply Design

Whether you are a student, a recent engineering grad entering the field of power electronics, or a seasoned power supply designer, this book will be a significant resource. From a basic definition of a power supply, this book follows with voltage regulation and the components necessary for implementation, and continues by describing the many circuit topologies and control algorithms. There are separate chapters on feedback-loop compensation and magnetic design as well as in-depth descriptions for complying with regulations for electromagnetic compatibly, human safety, and energy efficiency. Final chapters will describe the value proposition for digital control and the practical aspects of power supply construction. The information contained within this book has been drawn from the knowledge generated through forty years of Power Supply Design Seminars developed and presented by Unitrode and Texas Instruments, with references in the book’s chapters linking to TI’s library of past seminar topics.
