. THE INSIDE EDGE ON SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY DESIGN.
. Introduction * Power Supply Topologies * Non-Isolated Topologies * A/C Line Input * Power Supply Magnetics * Thermal Management * EMI Filter Design * Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) * Inductors for Current Mode Control * PCB Design Procedure * Key Regulatory Issues * Key Design Equations * Power Supply Design FAQ . . .

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.
