The latest techniques for designing state-of-the-art power supplies, including resonant LLC converters pExtensively revised throughout, iSwitching Power Supply Design Optimizationi, Second Edition, explains how to design reliable, high-performance switching power supplies for today's cutting-edge electronics. The book covers modern topologies and converters and features new information on designing or selecting bandgap references, transformer design using detailed new design charts for proximity effects, Buck efficiency loss teardown diagrams, active reset techniques, topology morphology, and a meticulous AC-DC front-end design procedure.p pThis updated resource contains design charts and numerical examples for comprehensive feedback loop design, including TL431, plus the world's first top-down simplified design methodology for wide-input resonant LLC converters. A step-by-step comparative design procedure for Forward and Flyback converters is also included in this practical guide.p p
