Features: This book is comprehensive and concise, covering almost all the essential knowledge required for power supply design, including the following aspects.
Topology Overview – 15 common topologies; maximum current stress and maximum voltage stress of power switching devices; optimal topology selection for power switching devices with definite input/output voltages and output power; optimal topology selection; optimal power switching device selection.
High-Frequency Magnetic Principles – Ferrite core magnetic tape, skin effect, and proximity effect losses.
Transformer Design – Derivation of functional formulas related to frequency, magnetic density, core area, and winding area as well as topology; calculation of total losses of the core, coil, and transformer, as well as temperature rise; transformer design examples using common topologies.
DC Bias Inductor Design – Design of inductors for conducting DC bias current.
Design of magnetic amplifiers, buffers, and resonant converters.
Feedback Loop Stability.
Precise waveforms of major topologies.
The second edition of this book adds the most current chapters on current in this field, including power factor correction, high-frequency ballasts for fluorescent lamps, and low-input-voltage power supplies for laptop designs.
Starting from the basic analysis of switch-mode converters, this book systematically elaborates on the principles of power conversion and pulse-width modulation in switch-mode power supply circuits, the stability of driving circuits and closed-loop feedback, as well as the design principles of magnetic components. It provides quantitative analysis of parameter selection for power conversion devices and waveforms in various parts of the converters. Utilizing the mechanism of closed-loop feedback oscillation, it discusses in detail the stability of current and voltage loop feedback systems in switch-mode power supplies. The book also discusses the latest developments and trends of high-frequency switch-mode power supplies in areas such as power factor correction technology, soft-switching technology, and electronic ballast technology.
In terms of content, the book not only provides a detailed and systematic exposition of the principles of various power converters but also presents multiple novel topologies and corresponding circuit feedback loop design examples.
This book can serve as a teaching material for college and university students studying high-frequency switch-mode power supplies, as well as a design reference for engineers engaged in switch-mode power supply design and development.
