: dedicated chapters on feedback-loop compensation to ensure stability and the critical design of magnetic components.
He includes PCB layout examples—good and bad—from TI’s evaluation modules, showing how a simple 2-layer board can achieve 90%+ efficiency if routed correctly.
Practical circuit implementations using operational amplifiers or error amplifiers to shape the loop response and achieve optimal transient recovery. 5. Managing Parasitics, Noise, and EMI High switching speeds (high : dedicated chapters on feedback-loop compensation to ensure
To understand the weight of this book, one must first understand the stature of its author. Bob Mammano is not merely an engineer; he is a founding father of the modern power electronics industry, widely recognized as the “father of the PWM controller IC industry”. His seminal design, the SG1524, developed in 1975, was the first fully integrated circuit that brought the complex control functions of a switching power supply onto a single chip, ushering in the age of efficient and compact switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).
The book is replete with clear, single-color schematics, block diagrams, and oscilloscope waveforms. Key equations are boxed, and important caveats appear as marginal notes. His seminal design, the SG1524, developed in 1975,
You can find Fundamentals of Power Supply Design (ISBN-10: 0998599409, ISBN-13: 978-0998599403) directly from TI and major book retailers online. If you are at any stage of your power supply design journey, let this book be your guide.
The core value of Mammano's 2017 book lies in its pedigree. The material is drawn from decades of knowledge generated through Unitrode and Texas Instruments Power Supply Design Seminars . These seminars were long considered industry staples for learning practical power electronics design. His seminal design
If you are interested in applying these principles, you can explore the Texas Instruments Power Stage Designer tool which complements the design concepts discussed in the book.
The book is structured to guide both new graduates and seasoned engineers through the lifecycle of power supply design: Foundations
