The definitive guide to switchmode power supply design--fully updated
Covering the latest developments and techniques, Switchmode Power Supply Handbook, third edition is a thorough revision of the industry-leading resource for power supply designers. New design methods required for powering small, high-performance electronic devices are presented. Based on the authors' decades of experience, the book is filled with real-world solutions and many nomograms, and features simplified theory and mathematical analysis.
This comprehensive volume explains common requirements for direct operation from the AC line supply and discusses design, theory, and practice. Engineering requirements of switchmode systems and recommendations for active power factor correction are included. This practical guide provides you with a working knowledge of the latest topologies along with step-by-step approaches to component decisions to achieve reliable and cost-effective power supply designs.
Switchmode Power Supply Handbook, third edition covers:
- Functional requirements of direct off-line switchmode power supplies
- Power components selection and transformer designs for converter circuits
- Transformer, choke, and thermal design
- Input filters, RFI control, snubber circuits, and auxiliary systems
- Active power factor correction system design
- Worked examples of would components
- Examples of fully resonant and quasi-resonant systems
- A resonant inverter fluorescent ballast
- An example of high-power phase shift modulated system
- A new MOSFET resonant inverter drive scheme
- A single-control, wide-range wave oscillator
Taylor Morey, currently a professor of Electronics at Conestoga College in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, is co-author of an electronics devices textbook, and has taught courses at Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo. He collaborates with Keith Billings as an independent power supply engineer and consultant, and previously worked in switchmode power supply development at Varian Canada in Georgetown, and Hammond Manufacturing and GFC Power in Guelph, where he first met Keith in 1988. During a 5-year sojourn to Mexico, he became fluent in Spanish and taught electronics engineering courses at the Universidad Católica de La Paz, and English as a second language at CIBNOR biological research institution of La Paz, where he also worked as an editor of graduate biology students’ articles for publication in refereed scientific journals. Earlier in his career he worked for IBM Canada on mainframe computers, and at Global TV’s studios in Toronto.
Keith Billings is a Chartered Electronic Engineer who has specialized in switchmode power supply design and manufacture for 45 years. He owns the consulting company DKB Power Inc. Mr. Billings was lead author on Switching Power Supply Design, Third Edition, filling in for the late Abraham Pressman, and he frequently presents Pressman’s four day course on power supply design and his own one day course on magnetics.
Taylor Morey is a Professor of Electronics Engineering Technology at Conestoga College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning in Kitchener, Ontario, and design consultant with over 30 years experience in power supplies.
