Book Description

075067329X 978-0750673297 May 17, 2001 2
Power Supply Cookbook, Second Edition provides an easy-to-follow, step-by-step design framework for a wide variety of power supplies. With this book, anyone with a basic knowledge of electronics can create a very complicated power supply design in less than one day. With the common industry design approaches presented in each section, this unique book allows the reader to design linear, switching, and quasi-resonant switching power supplies in an organized fashion. Formerly complicated design topics such as magnetics, feedback loop compensation design, and EMI/RFI control are all described in simple language and design steps. This book also details easy-to-modify design examples that provide the reader with a design template useful for creating a variety of power supplies.



This newly revised edition is a practical, "start-to-finish" design reference. It is organized to allow both seasoned and inexperienced engineers to quickly find and apply the information they need. Features of the new edition include updated information on the design of the output stages, selecting the controller IC, and other functions associated with power supplies, such as: switching power supply control, synchronization of the power supply to an external source, input low voltage inhibitors, loss of power signals, output voltage shut-down, major current loops, and paralleling filter capacitors. It also offers coverage of waveshaping techniques, major loss reduction techniques, snubbers, and quasi-resonant converters.


* Guides engineers through a step-by-step design framework for a wide variety of power supplies, many of which can be designed in less than one day

* Provides easy-to-understand information about often complicated topics, making power supply design a much more accessible and enjoyable process

...a practical, "start-to-finish" design reference. It is organized to allow both seasoned and inexperienced engineers to quickly find and apply the information they need.
-ElectronicsWeb

Want to know how those new, strange looking switching power supplies work? Skimming this book is certainly one very nice way to learn their functions. Want to try designing your own, with a reasonable probability of success? Just follow the cookbook! - QST

Fortunately, for those of us with little switching-mode power supply experience, two basic configuration are shown to begin the design sections. Basic schematics and waveforms, with simplified equations, introduce the forward-more converter and the boost-mode converter. Thus, the flow chart on the following page, used to guide you to a complete design, now makes sense. - QST

5.0 out of 5 stars Good level of detail., July 26, 1999
This book has a good level of detail overall. Brown's use of design examples give the reader enough meat to be of use in actual design situations. Also has a good section on thermal analysis/design and feedback loop compensation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Power Supply Cookbook, May 15, 2008
By 
M. Brown (Scottsdale, AZ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Power Supply Cookbook, Second Edition (EDN Series for Design Engineers) (Paperback)
I am Marty Brown - the author. I am about to write the next revision.
Comment: I had written my books because the books on the market then and now do not reflect the real-world needs of the designer on the bench, (where to start, what is important, how to tackle the more complicated aspects of the design and hardware, etc). Simulation is a good thing, but not all parasitics are included. Without the real world considerations, the final product may still fail.
I need your inputs. The book is getting dated and I would like to incoporate some of the latest needs of readers/designers. I have always been an engineer that had sought an intuitive understanding of what I had designed and I hope to continue that through my writing.
Please email any comments to my email address marty.brown@sierra-energy.biz. Questions are also welcomed and I hope I can answer them all. Also, any mistakes you may have found in the "Cookbook" or subject recommendations, please let me know.
Thank you for reading the book and good luck to all of you.

4.0 out of 5 stars A really practical book, August 14, 2001
This review is from: Power Supply Cookbook, Second Edition (EDN Series for Design Engineers) (Paperback)
This is one of those books easily understandable by those with enough technical background but too simplified for those with limited knowledge of power electronics. Nevertheless I think that if you are engaged in the desing of limited power (let's say up to 200W) switch mode power supplies you MUST have this book.
