Demystifying Switching Power Supplies

This book is a crash course in the fundamental theory, concepts, and terminology of switching power supplies. It is designed to quickly prepare engineers to make key decisions.

For those who want to use it, 80% of the time.

Unlike existing switching power supply books, deal with the development of the "commercial off-the-shelf" commercial switching power supply.

This book covers the essentials of power supply. Special attention to the selection of appropriate components, such as inductors and transformers, to ensure safe and reliable operation. Engineers, whose main design are more and more of their projects. They will be able to give more meaningful design requirements.

* Discusses both AC line supplies and DC-DC inverters.

* Covers the main switching power supply designs, including flyback, forward conversion, bridge, buch, boost, and boost / buck topologies.

* Design examples include a 220 volt offline switching power supply and a 110 volt uninterruptible supply.
