| Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
This is a rigorous, carefully explained and motivated “beginner’s bible” to power supply design. Between dense, mathematical textbooks on power electronics and tiny power supply “cookbooks” there exists no practical tutorial on the hazards of contemporary power supply design. Our Pressman book, the 800 lb gorilla in the field, is both mathematically dense and 7 years old. This new book, detailing cutting edge thermal management techniques, grouping key design equations in a special reference section, and containing a concise Design FAQ, will serve both as an invaluable tutorial and quick reference.

• Great Book - Lots Of New Ideas 24 May, 2005
This is an outstanding book. I especially like the organization of formulas into tables as well as the nicely drawn and logical diagrams. Chapter 16 has some clever new circuits that I've not seen before. I was especially intrigued by the floating buck regulator - very cool.
I kept buying books on switchers. Most of them were dissapointments. This book is an exception. I'll be on the look out for other titles from this author!

• Excellent, Carefully Explained And Practical Design Resource For Switching Power Supplies 27 August, 2006
This is an excellent, carefully explained and practical design resource for switching power supplies. The book features several practical and frequently used topologies like DC-DC converters, PFC, Forward Converter, and Flyback topology. The book contains the underlying theoretical foudation as well as practical information for completing a real life design. It covers the mentioned topologies as well as subjects like "Concepts in Magnetics", "Flyback Transformer Design", "Forward Converter Magnetics Design", "PCB and Layout", "Thermal Management", "Stabilizing Current Mode Converters" and "Practical EMI Filter Design".

• A New Classic! 31 January, 2005
Over the past 30 years, I have acquired quite a few
classic books in the field of electronics, such as
Gray and Meyer, Sedra and Smith, Streetman, etc.
In the area of switchers, this is a classic that every
Engineer working with switchers should have on
his bookshelf! This guy is the Bob Pease of switchers.
After you have read one of the ordinary books on
Switchers, get this one for all the subtle
and second order effects that other books
don't have.

• A Jewel Of Book 21 April, 2008
I find the contents of this book totaly profitable. The topics are well covered and well organized. This book should be in the desk of any power engineer.
The equations are totaly comprensible and well clasified in tables. The non continous conduction mode are well explained.
I recommend highly this book

• Not For The Unexperienced 22 December, 2006
Although this text may be a good reference for experienced professionals (see the other ratings), it is definitely not a good book for those looking to enter the SMPS field. The author has "no formal education in electronics," and it shows. He presents information "in much the same way as I taught myself over the years," which unfortunately does not facilitate the reader's learning this info in less than a year.
The layout does not really follow any logical flow... for example, Chp. 1 has topics such as "The r and K of the current waveform" and "Using Too High an Inductance (small r)," but the various switching topologies are not even introduced until Chp. 2. Then, in Chp. 2, there are two pages showing topologies before immediately moving on to switcher IC's (on the very next page), differential voltage sensing, and such. The rest of the book is similar.
Although the book is loaded with information, it is more or less a collection of tips, equations, charts, etc., and is therefore more suitable as a reference book. Do not buy this thinking that you can just read it from beginning to end, because it is not written in that way.
I give it two stars because it is marketed as a "beginner's bible," and it clearly is not that at all. Had it been marketed as a reference for experienced professionals, I would be unqualified to rate it, but other more experienced reviewers liked it.
