Product Description
Unarguably the leading hands-on guide in this rapidly expanding area of electronics, Keith Billings' new revision of his Switchmode Power Supply Handbook brings state-of-the-art techniques and developments to engineers at all levels. Offering sound working knowledge of the latest in topologies and clear, step-by-step approaches to component decisions, this Handbook gives power supply designers practical, solutions-oriented design guidance free of unnecessarily complicated mathematical derivations and theory. This thoroughly updated Handbook features many new fully worked examples, as well as numerous nomograms--everything you need to design today's smaller, faster, and cooler systems. Turn to just about any page, and you'll find cutting-edge design expertise on electronic ballast, power factor correction, new thermal management techniques, transformers, chokes, input filters, EMI control, converters, snubber circuits, auxiliary systems, and much more. The most comprehensive book on power supply design available anywhere, Switchmode Power Supply Handbook is the industry standard, now fully updated for the 21st century.

• Useful And Enjoyable 17 September, 2006
I bought this book as a complement to Abraham I. Pressman's Switching Power Supply Design.
These two books are very similar, but do not overlap all that much. I am glad to have them both.
This book can be used as a textbook or as a reference. It is so well organised you can find what you need very fast through the table of contents. Concepts are supported by schematics and graphs.
I am using this book to learn analog design and to learn to build my own switching power supplies.

• A Good Book For Its Purpose 02 June, 2006
I recently purchased both this book, and Switching Power Supply Design by Abraham I. Pressman. I had cursory knowledge of SMPS from datasheets and appnotes from National Semiconductors and IRF.
Overall, i like the other book better. The chapter layouts speak to the intended purpose of the books. In this book, the progression is from the start of an off-line power supply to then end. instead of starting with what the switching power supply is, and such, this book starts with input circuitry and startup methods. some suitable off-line topolgies are detailed. It is only later in the book that the basic switching power supplies, like the buck converter are detailed. It makes sense -- these supplies are billed for regulation in the book.
I found some of this book annoying. for instance, the author often refers to bifilar windings. there is no glossary entry for this. the index refers to multiple pages where "bifilar" is mentioned, but it is never defined. Similarly, "flyback" is not defined.
if you want to learn power supplies, i reccomend the book by Abraham I. Pressman over this one.

• Excelent Refernce Source 13 September, 1999
This book does an excelent job of providing facts and information needed to design switchmode supplies. It gives numerical examples and shows the underlying theories.

• Exelente Reference Book. 01 October, 2007
I always was thinking in buy or not this book becasue of some other customer opinions, so i took the risk and bought it.
Great book, a lot of information regrading tips for inductor, transformer, softstart, step-down and flyback, it has many pages about everything abouth SMPS and Linear Supply.
If you want a book for reference on SMPS, buy this one, it has many examples, calculations, etc, and is a pleasure read this book.
You will receive what you pay.
Saludos...
