This book is a design guidebook that provides a detailed description of switching converters, covering everything from operational theory to practical design procedures.
It encompasses all circuit configurations, from low-power flyback converters and forward converters to high-efficiency LLC resonant converters.
In recent years, with the tightening of input harmonic current regulations, the implementation of PFC converters has become standard. This book explains the principles of power factor correction and provides design methods for PFC converters.
Written with a focus on enabling practical product design based on the author's hands-on experience, this book includes important notes on the use of electronic components—knowledge often gained from real-world troubleshooting and typically not found in manuals or datasheets.
This book is a valuable reference not only for engineers actively engaged in design and development but also for students aspiring to enter the field of power electronics.
