This is an excellent book that leads you through switched-mode power supply design in plain English with a practical and straight-forward approach. Highlights for me include the conversation on trade-offs for topologies, the end-to-end design examples, and the detailed treatment of magnetics design and implementation. I have many power supply books (including a very good one by Ralph Tartar), but this is my favorite. To put it simply, if you have any responsibility for designing or understanding power supplies, you need a copy of this book on your bookshelf.

This is far and away the most practical, comprehensive and useful reference on power supplies I have ever read. It covers it all from component level through EMI control in a very straight forward manner. EXCELLENT!

Best book about practical design of electronics (power supplies).
There is no "PHD BSing", all formulas are simple and easy to use.
Many, many advices and shortcuts.
If you are EE (and you know what a resistor looks like), but never designed power supplies - you can start your first design after reading this book.
So, spend $70 and buy this book. If you have no money (or you rather buy beer than book), ask your boss to buy it (book) for you...

Fairly clear, a little generic but useful to grasp the basic concepts. A good first step towards the design of Power supplies.
