THE LATEST SPICE SIMULATION AND DESIGN TOOLS FOR CREATING STATE-OF-THE-ART SWITCHMODE POWER SUPPLIES
Fully updated to incorporate new SPICE features and capabilities, this practical guide explains, step by step, how to simulate, test, and improve switch-mode power supplydesigns. Detailed formulas with founding equations are included. Based on the author''s continued research and in-depth, handson work in the field, this revised resource offers a collection of the latest SPICE solutions to the most difficult problem facing power supply designers: creating smaller, more heat-efficient power supplies in shorter design cycles.
NEW to this edition:
- Complete analysis of rms currents for the three basic cells in CCM and DCM
- PWM switch at work in the small-signal analysis of the DCM boost and the QR flyback
- OTA-based compensators
- Complete transistor-level TL431 model
- Small-signal analysis of the borderline-operated boost PFC circuit operated in voltage or current mode
- All-over power phenomena in QR or fixed-frequency discontinuous/continuous flyback converters
- Small-signal model of a QR flyback converter
- Small-signal model of the active clamp forward converter operated in voltagemode control
- Electronic content―design templates and examples available online
Switch-Mode Power Supplies: SPICE Simulations and Practical Designs, Second Edition, covers:
Small-signal modeling * Feedback and ciontrol loops * Basic blocks and generic switched models * Nonisolated converters * Off-line converters * Flyback converters * Forward converters * Power factor correction

About the author

Christophe Basso, born in 1965, was Technical Fellow with onsemi for 24 years. Before that, he was with Motorola for two years and he now works for a distributor. He graduated from the Montpellier university in 1985 and obtained a MSEE in 2007 from the Toulouse INP. He has published eight books, two in French and six in English. His previous work, "Switch-Mode Power Supplies: SPICE Simulations and Practical Designs", has been positively welcomed by engineers world-wide and well reviewed by columnists. After his book on Fast Analytical Circuits Techniques (FACTs) released in May 2016 and published with Wiley in the IEEE-press imprint, this new student manual, "The Fast Track to Determining Transfer Functions of Linear Circuits", will let the reader harness the power of the FACTs through many documented examples.

Auch wenn es darin hauptsächlich um die Simulation geht, merkt man, daß der Autor aus der Praxis kommt.

Lors des envois, j'aimerais que Amazon protège mieux les livres avec du carton rigide. Celui-ci était protégé mais pas assez, un côté a légèrement été écrasé mais heureusement ça ne se voit pas trop. Dommage pour un investissement aussi cher.
It is nice to see a book that covers the design of the entire converter (input filter, clamps, snubbers, etc.) through real world application examples. For instance, a boost converter for a car audio amplifier starting with only the customer requirements and carrying the reader through the entire design process including component selection and thermal considerations. Although it only focuses on the basic topologies (boost, buck, buck-boost, flyback, forward), the approaches demonstrated for deriving their equations and models make it is easy to derive the equations and models for their derivative topologies (push-pull, SEPIC, Cuk, half/full-bridge, etc.).
I recommend this book to all of my colleagues!
その意味で、本書は”比較的”丁寧な記述がなされ、多くの疑問に答えたものと思います。特にこの分野の専門書としては日本の文献ではほとんど取り上げられる事のないコンバータの伝達関数まで踏み込んでいるのは素晴らしいと感じました。英語も難解ではなく、DC-DCコンバータの経験5年以上のエンジニアに是非読んで欲しいと思える文献です。
とはいえ、初学者には、まだ不十分と思える記述も見受けられます。そうした説明を加えると文献は、ページ数が増加の一途で悩まし所でしょう。もっともその辺は本書の範疇はないかも知れませんが。
