Sanjaya Maniktala's Switching Power Supply Design & Optimization

Minimizing dissipated heat to eliminate heavy heatsinks.

Switching Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) are inherently non-linear, dynamic systems. A design that works on paper can easily fail in production due to parasitic components, thermal runaway, or Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).

Understanding the control-to-output transfer functions for both Voltage Mode Control (VMC) and Current Mode Control (CMC).
