Book Description
Inarguably the leading reference in the field. New chapters on electronic ballast design and power
factor corrections. Coverage of state of the art thermal management techniques.
Booknews, Inc. , September 1, 1989
Descriptions of techniques in common use today, together with explanations of the latest
developments in the field. Addresses how to specify power supply requirements to ensure a system
design that is cost-effective and reliable, and presents coverage of such topics as transformer design,
choke design, input filters, RFI control, snubber circuits, and thermal design. Includes examples and
nomograms. Acidic paper. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. --This text refers to

From the Back Cover
The bestselling reference--packed with essential new material! The leading hands-on guide in this
rapidly expanding area of electronics, Keith Billing's revision of the Switchmode Power Supply
Handbook brings additional state-of-the-art techniques and developments to engineers at all levels.
Offering sound working knowledge of the latest in topologies and clear, step-by-step approaches to
component decisions, this handbook gives power supply designers practical, solutions-oriented design
guidance, free of unnecessarily complicated mathematical derivations and theory. The Handbook
features many new fully worked examples, as well as numerous nomograms--everything you need to

features many new fully worked examples, as well as numerous nomograms--everything you need to
design today's smaller, faster, and cooler systems. Turn to the new Part 4, and you'll find cutting-edge
design expertise on: electronic ballast; power factor correction. In addition, the previously updated
parts 1-3 still provide fully applicable sections on: thermal management techniques; transformers,
chokes, input filters, EMI control, converters, snubber circuits, auxiliary systems, and much more.
