Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Christophe Basso, born in 1965, was Technical Fellow with onsemi for 24 years. Before that, he was with Motorola for two years and he now works for a distributor. He graduated from the Montpellier university in 1985 and obtained a MSEE in 2007 from the Toulouse INP. He has published eight books, two in French and six in English. His previous work, "Switch-Mode Power Supplies: SPICE Simulations and Practical Designs", has been positively welcomed by engineers world-wide and well reviewed by columnists. After his book on Fast Analytical Circuits Techniques (FACTs) released in May 2016 and published with Wiley in the IEEE-press imprint, this new student manual, "The Fast Track to Determining Transfer Functions of Linear Circuits", will let the reader harness the power of the FACTs through many documented examples.

This book is far more detailed than its predecessor and as the author has promised, it took care the majority of complaints. It is difficult to write any book about this subject that would satisfy everybody. You have to look at it with an open mind. It is not meant as a replacement for academia, it is meant to be a practical design guide for circuit simulations as the title suggests. I am happy with the increased content and I believe that anybody who has analog design basics but not very strong simulation skills will definitely benefit from reading the book and learning a number of very useful simulation tricks as I had benefited from the book's predecessor too. Highly recommended both for entry and medium skill level readers. It can also serve as a library of simulation guide for the well educated in this subject. Do not expect this book to show you how to design a switching power supply, you get the practical aspects of how to from the Pressman books. The purpose of this book is to teach you how to simulate switching power supplies using the various versions of SPICE which it does very well. In addition it has a nice summary of academic introductions to various switching power supply modeling techniques and guides you through how various well known individuals had advanced simulation models.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and Practical Power Electronics Book
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2013

I have been in the Power Electronics industry for about 4 years now (graduated college in 2008), and I have yet to find a reference as solid as this one when it comes to designing power supplies.

The amount of practical information I found in this book, while doing real designs for my work, has been phenomenal.

I have not read it all the way through yet, which I am planning to do, especially for the PSPICE analysis, but as a reference this book has proved to be excellent while designing.

He covers all the standard topologies, but also goes into detail about how to generate VCC supplies, how to add protection features, how to compensate the feedback loop, etc...

The SPICE models provided with the book are also great, I just wish you did not have to pay extra for the more advanced models, but I suppose a lot of work was put into it so he couldn't give it away for free...

If you are an aspiring power electronics engineer (like me) I highly recommend this book as your go-to reference when designing power supplies.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best switching power supply design book in my collection
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2012
Verified Purchase
A must-have even if you already own many books on the subject. Highly recommended. Mr. Basso evidently has been extraordinarily busy, as this book has vastly more information than his 2001 book on the same subject, and it goes far deeper. Lots of mathematical derivations, including of non-switching average modeling. More material than the vast majority of engineers designing power supplies in industry could get around to deriving in a lifetime. And far more lucid and PRACTICAL than some of the other very thick post-graduate books, written by professors, that I own and reference, where the practical applicable material seems to be mostly in all-too-short appendices. Vast number of schematics, circuits, circuit topologies, equations, transfer functions, waveforms, insights. I own Pressman's fine book, Basso's book is surprisingly orthogonal, for producing in industrial setting. I use Basso's often, my other SMPS books less so. Basso's English is not perfect, don't know why the editor didn't help more with that. I don't know Basso, not personally, not at all, never met him. I know circuit design and simulation. Book costs less than many of the others, fewer stars or otherwise.

5.0 out of 5 stars very practical and detailed book
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2010
Verified Purchase
I do not have a background or a professional activity in power electronics, but nevertheless I did spend a considerable effort
(over the last 3 months) to understand switching power supplies because we were confronted with problems in a commercial
application (current-mode switcher).

The book from Mr Basso takes you directly to many details that are missed in the literature ... actually several details of
the schematic (of our application) were explained and worked out in this marvelous book.

To my opinion this is going to become a classic text and I think it deserves a place on the book shelve of engineers involved
SMPS design.

Although I did not evaluate the models included, I think that they are valuable and a good start for beginners and students.

From my point of view this book is not about magnetics or inductor/transformer design, although it introduces the subject
and supplies plenty of references.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for ideas used in industry
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2011

Although this book has its share of errors, it is the ideas that matter. TL431 feedback is well presented in this book. This is known as a shunt regulator and can be functionally be used as a feedback op amp. It's a small and cheap component that is well used in industry as a compensator.

I cannot emphasize enough that this book introduces principles used in industrial practice and is also an excellent resource for other great resources. Sources are listed at the end of each section, which provides easy access to more-in-depth media.

I apologize to the author for not reviewing this product sooner. He seems most personable and has even responded to my e-mail. It would not surprise me if you became a fan of Christophe Basso.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Resource for SMPS Design
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2011
Verified Purchase
I picked this book up to refresh my decades dormant SMPS design skills. The book exceeded my expectations ... not only in it's clarity in theory and application, but that it also brings together many technique's and approaches championed by others (Ridley, Venable ... ). On any design, I like to build my own spreadsheets and spice models to validate the key requirements for that design, but I want to eventually be be able to apply it all to future designs. From the text in the book to the plethora of files on the CD (lot's of simulator demos), one can tailor their own collection of files that can be used for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book !!!
Reviewed in France on March 31, 2009

A really great book which covers in detail several layers of "switch-Mode" power supplies designs. Electronics, Maths and Spice simulations. Practical designs are covered in details and the Spice models really work!! Obviously, several models relate to "ON" devices, but they can be adapted rather easily to other Semiconductor manufacturers. All together a great buy!
