With the challenges and pressures to deliver on time and within spec first time; a scenario that all designers now find themselves in, it is imperative that a high quality design reference is close at hand.
Dr Ray Ridley is an industry Guru and has trained and advised new and seasoned engineers on the increasingly important issue of successful power supply design. He runs highly successful training seminars and has now put his wide-ranging experience and expertise into his new book.
This new 170-page hardcover book is in full color with nine chapters of design ideas and explanations, including the following:
- Nine Topologies
- Modeling Power Topologies
- Voltage-Mode Compensation
- Current-Mode Control Modeling
- Current-Mode Compensation
- Frequency Response Measurements
- System Issues
- Input Filter Interactions
- Noise Issues
An excerpt from the introduction:
This is a book about control of PWM converters. It is intended to guide the reader through the confusing array of choices available in designing a modern switching power supply. This book highlights the main control issues encountered in dc-dc converters.
Use this book in conjunction with our free analysis software that can be downloaded from Dr Ridley's' website. The software contains all the equations for the three major families of converters, operating with both CCM and DCM, using either voltage-mode or current-mode control.
The harsh reality of power supply development is that they rarely behave in an expected manner, or in the manner that simulators dictate. Therefore, you must build hardware, then test and measure as quickly as possible to uncover problems. This book is intended to help you get there faster by providing key information, and showing where the issues lie.
