switching-mode PSUs: looking for theory and design guide materials (books?)

[0db]

From "simple" single rail switched mode PSUs, to complex ones, I am willing to learn the theory from the scratch. Can you suggest some good book or course?

no pun intended (this is how i learn)...

Study SMPS controller IC datasheets and particularly their typical application circuits.

"Fundamentals of Power Electronics" is theory heavy and really starts from square one. If you work your way through it you will understand how to derive most of what you see in power electronics, it's used in a lot of grad level college courses.

The material is available in slide form from the course website of one of the authors: https://ecee.colorado.edu/~ecen5797/notes.html , a full PDF is available on all the usual sites.

Fundamentals of Power Electronics is a good fallback if you want to understand how everything is derived but is a bit dense. If you are mainly interested in SMPS design and topologies that are currently commercially popular you would best be served by manufacture app notes, as stated by others. TI has a lot of good material you can find. As an arbitrary example, the "Power Topologies Handbook" pretty exhaustively covers all non-resonant topologies https://www.ti.com/seclit/ug/slyu036/slyu036.pdf .

A good place to start is the book "Switch-Mode Power Supply Reference Manual" from ON Semiconductor (ref. no. SMPSRM-D.PDF).
It's downloadable for free from www.onsemi.com

this one? Just downloaded. Thanks!

Yep, that's the one, I had a slash instead of a dash in the reference number, sorry. Now corrected.

I see you're in Zambia. I lived two years in Kitwe    (69...71).
