Features: This book provides a detailed explanation of power supply design methods based on practical examples of power devices in various application fields. The content is divided into two parts:
Part 1 primarily introduces the design methods of linear regulators, including the design methods of rectifier circuits, how to select rectifier diodes and smoothing capacitors, and how to suppress surge currents. It also covers the basic performance and application techniques of zener diodes and reference voltage ICs, practical design methods of 3-terminal regulators and series regulators, and design techniques for series regulators.
Part 2 primarily introduces the design methods of switching regulators, including the concepts and characteristics of switching regulators, how to select transformers and choke coils, various design methods and examples of switching regulators, and techniques for reducing noise in circuit design. Additionally, the appendix of this book introduces cooling and heat sink installation techniques, as well as new technologies in power circuit design during the power supply design process.
This book emphasizes fundamentals and is designed to help readers engage in hands-on design. It includes extensive coverage of related basic knowledge, even some complex formula derivations, and also introduces many technical tips to avoid common pitfalls during the design process. Furthermore, the book provides numerous application examples to inspire readers' learning enthusiasm and guide them in comprehensively applying knowledge for application design and practice.
This book can serve as a reference for students in computer, communication, industrial automation, and related fields, as well as for technicians engaged in power supply design.
