Switching Power Supply Design. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.Switching Power Supply Design

This definitive resource on designing a switching power supply uses a tutorial-style approach to explain basic principles and the reasons for various effects. The volume is divided into four main sections: topologies; magnetics and circuits designs; typical switching power supply waveforms; and newer applications. Magnetics design is emphasized, as the majority of power supply designers are primarily circuits-oriented. New chapters in this edition cover such new topics in the field as power factor correction, high-frequency ballasts for fluorescent lamps, and low-input voltage supplies for laptop computers.

Abraham I. Pressman (Waban, Massachusetts) is a nationally known power supply consultant and lecturer. His background ranges from an Army radar officer to over four decades as an analog-digital design engineer in industry. He has had key design roles in a number of significant "firsts" in electronics over the past 50 years. These include the first particle accelerator to achieve an energy over one billion volts, the first high-speed printer in the computer industry, the first spacecraft to take pictures of the surface of the moon, and two of the earliest textbooks on computer logic circuit design using transistors and switching power supply design respectively. For the past 11 years, Mr. Pressman has taught a four-day seminar, "Modern Switching Power Supply Design," nationally and internationally to engineers from most of the major electronics companies and a number of U.S. government laboratories.
