Switching Power Supply Design and Optimization, Second Edition

The latest techniques for designing state-of-the-art power supplies, including resonant (LLC) convertersExtensively revised throughout, Switching Power Supply Design & Optimization, Second Edition, explains how to design reliable, high-performance switching power supplies for today's cutting-edge electronics. The book covers modern topologies and converters and features new information on designing or selecting bandgap references, transformer design using detailed new design charts for proximity effects, Buck efficiency loss teardown diagrams, active reset techniques, topology morphology, and a meticulous AC-DC front-end design procedure.This updated resource contains design charts and numerical examples for comprehensive feedback loop design, including TL431, plus the world's first top-down simplified design methodology for wide-input resonant (LLC) converters. A step-by-step comparative design procedure for Forward and Flyback converters is also included in this practical guide.The new edition covers: Voltage referencesDC-DC converters: topologies to configurationsContemporary converters, composites, and related techniquesDiscontinuous conduction modeComprehensive front-end design in AC-DC power conversionTopologies for AC-DC applicationsTapped-inductor (autotransformer-based) convertersSelecting inductors for DC-DC convertersFlyback and Forward converter transformer designForward and Flyback converters: step-by-step design and comparisonPCBs and thermal managementClosing the loop: feedback and stability, including TL431Practical EMI filter designReset techniques in Flyback and Forward convertersReliability, testing, and safety issuesUnraveling and optimizing Buck converter efficiencyIntroduction to soft-switching and detailed LLC converter design methodology with PSpice simulationsPractical circuits, design ideas, and component FAQs
