Practical Design of Power Supplies
Practical Design of Power Supplies
"In a rare and very welcome departure from the power industry's
standard technical treatise, Ron Lenk's book . . . offers a clear,
pragmatic view of the practical real-world aspects governing power
supply design . . . . Engineers at all levels . . . can expect to
gain an enlightened perspective normally gained only after years of
design experience."
--Frank Wahl, Managing Editor, PCIM Magazine
"This is a real hands-on reference in which Ron has done an
outstanding job of combining just enough theory for understanding,
together with several lifetimes' worth of experience. I am
confident that it is destined to become dog-eared and worn on the
top of every power supply designer's desk."
--Bob Mammano, Vice President Advanced Technology, Unitrode
Practical Design of Power Supplies details key techniques and
offers advice to engineers and technicians who want to design and
build power supplies that work the first time they are turned on.
Leading authority Ron Lenk presents current, experiment-based
information that can save hours of research and design time.
Containing many handy "Practice Notes" and real-world examples,
Practical Design of Power Supplies is an excellent how-to reference
to keep by your side throughout the design, lab, and production
phases. The topics covered will be immediately useful in everyday
circuits and systems work:
* Common terms and instrumentation
* How to design successful magnetics
* How to compensate the feedback loop to obtain stable
operation
* Practical EMI
* Topology selection
* Worst-case analysis
Practical Design of Power Supplies will be especially useful to
designers who need to understand and implement the concepts behind
loop compensation and magnetics design.
