Comprehensive theory; reasonable practice 19 Nov 1999

By John Hope

Format:Hardcover

Pressman covers a much greater range of topics than Keith Billings does in 'Switchmode Power Supply Handbook', and the info is more up to date regarding modern techniques and core materials. However, Pressman's coverage of magnetics design and other practical design issues is not nearly as thorough as that in Billings's book, and his use of imperial (and sometimes mixed) units is apt to be confusing to the metric-minded. (How to miss Mars by 130000 km etc). I would recommend that persons actually involved in SMPS design should own both these books.

One of the best on the subject 25 April 2012

By CJL

Format:Hardcover

As a practising electronics engineer, I was looking for a crash course in switching power supplies, as I had to design one that was more complex than I was comfortable with, for a particular project. After buying and reading several books on the subject, I concluded that this book is the most helpful, and easiest to follow. It is written in plain English, with helpful cross references between different chapters, and written in a way that enables you to start your own design by following the explanations. At the very least, you will gain a much better understanding of the diverse design issues involved, when you next see someone else's design. This is not the cheapest book on the subject, but well worth the money.

Words of wisdom from a power supply guru. 27 Aug 1998

By A Customer

Format:Hardcover

Pressman exemplifies the saying that a scientist will derive everything, but an engineer is one who knows how to quickly look it up in a table.
