: Starting with the basic definition of a power supply, Mammano explains voltage regulation and the fundamental components required for implementation.
: Often considered the "black magic" of power design, separate chapters are dedicated to the design and selection of inductors and transformers.
, authored by industry pioneer Robert A. "Bob" Mammano, is widely considered a foundational text for engineers seeking a practical understanding of power electronics. Drawing from over 40 years of technical seminars presented at Unitrode and Texas Instruments, this book serves as a bridge between abstract theory and real-world implementation. The Legacy of Bob Mammano
: The text covers both analog control algorithms and the modern value proposition of digital control for high-performance systems.
Robert Mammano is famously recognized as the "Father of the PWM Controller Industry". In 1974, he designed the SG1524, the world’s first integrated pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller IC, which revolutionized the design of switch-mode power supplies (SMPS). His book consolidates decades of this expertise into a single 333-page volume aimed at students and seasoned professionals alike. Core Technical Pillars
: Beyond functional design, Mammano includes in-depth guidance on meeting stringent regulations for electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC), human safety, and energy efficiency. Practical Utility for Engineers
