Regulated power supplies are an indispensible part of every electronic system, and yet they are often a mystery even to many professionals. This hands-on guide to design, applications and operation aims to clarify these components. This edition has been updated to cover new IC technology, low-voltage logic devices and one-watt power supplies for ISDN equipment.

2.0 out of 5 stars
maybe a little bit outdated...,
By Peter Rohrer (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power Supplies Switching Regulators, Inverters, and Converters (Paperback)
The book gives a solid base on the different principles of converters and inverters. But I also expected to see ICs included as they were already available back in 1993! A chapter on the influence of different core materials and their calculation is, in my eyes, missing for this book to be a complete reference.

1.0 out of 5 stars
A useless book,
By Marek Krasuski (Warsaw Poland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power Supplies Switching Regulators, Inverters, and Converters (Paperback)
Book just skims the topics mentioned in its title - just a disordered collection of a bit outdated drawings with childlike commentary. No word about power conversion essentials: topologies, magnetics, feedback, stability, EMI, power semiconductors.

4.0 out of 5 stars
The Power for All!,
By Neil W.Fisk (nfisk@compusmart.ab.ca) (Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power Supplies Switching Regulators, Inverters, and Converters (Paperback)
What may be surprising is that this book gives the designer peace of mind and good thought process for his/her design.The topics inside uncover tips and techniques to overcome some of the drawbacks and sacrifices of designing a good "Work Horse" power supply. I'm delighted that I bought the book,and you find that 75,000 readers are one step ahead of you.
