Roberts S. DC/DC book of knowledge

3rd edition. — Recom, Gmunden, 2016. — 287 p.The function of any AC/DC or DC/DC converter module is to meet one or more of the following requirements:
to match the secondary load to the primary power supply
to provide isolation between primary and secondary circuits
to provide protection against the effects of faults, short circuit or over heating
to simplify compliance with safety, performance or EMC legislation.
There are a number of different techniques available to achieve these aims, starting at its simplest with a linear regulator and going through to multi-stage, digitally controlled power supplies. This book aims to explain the various DC/DC circuits and topologies available so that users can better understand the advantages, limitations and operational boundaries of each of these solutions. The language used is necessarily technical, but is kept as simple as possible without trivialising the technology involved.Feedback Loops
