In the age of specialization for electronics engineers, it becomes very difficult to maintain a level of competence within a broad range of electronics fields. Nonetheless, many engineers will be assigned design projects outside their primary field of expertise, among which are switching power supplies. This is done primarily because the engineer has a unique ability to learn technical subjects relatively quickly. Unfortunately, the literature available today on the subject of switching power supplies tries to convey an understanding through lengthy derivations of applied mathematics. This does not work since only an intuitive sense of the subject matter creates an understanding of the fundamental relationships.
This book is written for just this purpose. It contains no mathematical derivations. Instead, it contains written explanations in semitechnical terms, on such topics as magnetic behavior and feedback compensation, to give the reader a good intuitive understanding of the operation of a switching regulator. The material highlights the areas that have a strong bearing on the supply's reliable operation that are not obvious from the "paper design." It also attempts to tie together the often oblique and unrelated information presented in component manufacturer's catalogs. The design examples are written in a clear step-by-step fashion in order to show the reader the steps necessary in a typical switching regulator design. They were also chosen because of their utility in a wide range of typical applications. They can be easily modified and scaled to fit many more applications. The topics contained in the book range from considerations in capacitor and semiconductor selection to quasi-resonant converter design.
This book has been written as a result of many years of learning about switching power supplies from experience and equally many years of frustration with the available technical resources. The material is organized specifically to answer those questions that 1 and the many engineers with whom I have conversed have had when faced with a switching power supply design. In short, this material is written for a working engineer by a working engineer.
