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 "Practical 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. 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.

Switched mode power supplies are now established as an industry standard method of providing power to many types of electronic equipment. This book provides thorough, up-to-date coverage of all aspects of switched mode power supply technology. Covers the full range of topics associated with the successful design and production of a switched mode power supply. -- Provides a sound, rigorous treatment of the theory, as well as practical applications, to allow the reader to achieve a suitable design and functionally satisfactory switched mode power supply. -- Considerably expanded since the first edition. The second edition includes coverage of electromagnetic compatibility, the main statutory regulations associated with switched mode power supply production, and validated simulation programs.

Power Supply Cookbook, Second Edition provides an easy-to-follow, step-by-step design framework for a wide variety of power supplies. With this book, anyone with a basic knowledge of electronics can create a very complicated power supply design in less than one day. With the common industry design approaches presented in each section, this unique book allows the reader to design linear, switching, and quasi-resonant switching power supplies in an organized fashion. Formerly complicated design topics such as magnetics, feedback loop compensation design, and EMI/RFI control are all described in simple language and design steps. This book also details easy-to-modify design examples that provide the reader with a design template useful for creating a variety of power supplies. This newly revised edition is a practical, "start-to-finish" design reference. It is organized to allow both seasoned and inexperienced engineers to quickly find and apply the information they need. Features of the new edition include updated information on the design of the output stages, selecting the controller IC, and other functions associated with power supplies, such as: switching power supply control, synchronization of the power supply to an external source, input low voltage inhibitors, loss of power signals, output voltage shut-down, major current loops, and paralleling filter capacitors. It also offers coverage of waveshaping techniques, major loss reduction techniques, snubbers, and quasi-resonant converters. Guides engineers through a step-by-step design framework for a wide variety of power supplies, many of which can be designed in less than one day Provides easy-to-understand information about often complicated topics, making power supply design a much more accessible and enjoyable process

Newnes has worked with Marty Brown, a leader in the field of power design to select the very best design-specific material from the Newnes portfolio. Marty selected material for its timelessness, its relevance to current power supply design needs, and its real-world approach to design issues. Special attention is given to switching power supplies and their design issues, including component selection, minimization of EMI, toroid selection, and breadboarding of designs. Emphasis is also placed on design strategies for power supplies, including case histories and design examples. This is a book that belongs on the workbench of every power supply designer! *Marty Brown, author and power supply design consultant, has personally selected all content for its relevance and usefulness *Covers best design practices for switching power supplies and power converters *Emphasis is on pragmatic solutions to commonly encountered design problems and tasks

*No previous design experience is required to use the techniques described *All popular forms of linear supplies are covered in detail (including zener, 3-terminal, feedback, current foldback, op-amp, series, shunt, and IC package). *Extensive use of headings and subheadings helps the reader seeking information on specific types of supplies Simplified Design of Linear Power Supplies is an all-inclusive, one-stop guide to linear power-supply design, using step-by-step instructions and diagrams. The first half of the book describes how linear power supplies operate, and explains what is required to design such supplies. The second half provides specific design examples, using the techniques described in the first half. The basic approach is to start design problems with approximations for trial-value components in experimental circuits, then to vary the component values until the desired results (input/output, voltage and current, line and load regulation, ripple rejection, noise, etc.) are produced. The design examples can be put to immediate use, as is, or can be modified as required to meet a specific design goal, by following the instructions.
