Mammano Robert A 2017 Fundamentals Of Power Supply Design Texas Instruments Upd (2027)
As switching frequencies increase to reduce component size, efficiency becomes harder to maintain. The book provides excellent coverage of switching losses in MOSFETs and diodes. Mammano explains the mechanisms of turn-on and turn-off losses, allowing engineers to accurately predict efficiency and thermal requirements before building a prototype.
No power supply works on paper alone. This section covers component selection (MOSFETs, diodes, capacitors, inductors), gate drive circuits, and—critically—printed circuit board (PCB) layout for low noise and thermal management. Mammano provides rules of thumb for minimizing parasitic inductance, managing ground loops, and placing decoupling capacitors. The inclusion of thermal design (junction-to-ambient, heatsinking, and airflow calculations) rounds out the practical focus. As switching frequencies increase to reduce component size,
