Switchmode Power Supply Handbook, 3rd Revised edition--------------------------------------------------This is a definitive guide to switchmode power supply design whichis fully updated. Covering the latest developments and techniques,Switchmode Power Supply Handbook, third edition is a thorough revisionof the industry-leading resource for power supply designers. New designmethods required for powering small, high-performance electronic devicesare presented. Based on the authors' decades of experience, the bookis filled with real-world solutions and many nomograms, and featuressimplified theory and mathematical analysis. This comprehensive volumeexplains common requirements for direct operation from the AC linesupply and discusses design, theory, and practice. Engineering requirementsof switchmode systems and recommendations for active power factor correctionare included. This practical guide provides you with a working knowledgeof the latest topologies along with step-by-step approaches to componentdecisions to achieve reliable and cost-effective power supply designs.Switchmode Power Supply Handbook, third edition covers: functionalrequirements of direct off-line switchmode power supplies, power componentsselection 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 andquasi-resonant systems, a resonant inverter fluorescent ballast, anexample of high-power phase shift modulated system, a new MOSFET resonantinverter drive scheme, and, a single-control, wide-range wave oscillator.--------------------------------------------------Author Biography: Keith Billings is a Chartered Electronic Engineerwho has specialized in switchmode power supply design and manufacturefor 45 years. He owns the consulting company DKB Power Inc. Mr. Billingswas lead author on Switching Power Supply Design, Third Edition, fillingin for the late Abraham Pressman, and he frequently presents Pressman'sfour day course on power supply design and his own one day course onmagnetics. Taylor Morey is a Professor of Electronics EngineeringTechnology at Conestoga College Institute of Technology and AdvancedLearning in Kitchener, Ontario, and design consultant with over 30years experience in power supplies.
