Review: Great book on magnetics - This book spends almost 150 pages detailing each and every concept related to magnetic design for flyback, forward converter. Shows how to calculate inductors for DC-DC converters. The author shows step by step formula to calculate the precise core size, wire guage, air gap etc. He also compares his practically implemented formula with the industry formulae used to calculate precise core size, wire guages etc. I enjoyed reading it. By far the best book on magnetics which takes each and every issue into consideration ( proximity,skin effect, fringing effect etc). Showed a complete table of different magnetic core manufacturers, their dimensions, gap etc. He also showed how to reduce core losses by varying the parameters such as Volume of the core, area of the core. length of the core and their effect on core losses. The textbook also has a very decent section on selection of PFC holdup time capacitor value which is usually a very complex topic and plenty of formulae exist which result in different values. But, this author has given a table which can be used to select the capacitor value, RMS current value right from the table. Also shows how to parallel ceramic and electrolytic capacitors taking into account the RMS current, voltage ripple, ESR etc. This is very good. The chapter on reliability/Safety is also very good. This is required for high volume production. I would definitely recommended this textbook to all levels of expertise.
Review: Excellent comprehensive guide! - This book is truly a labor of love by the author. No one book can cover every aspect of power supply design, but this one comes close. It is very well illustrated and has many very handy charts and graphs. It is a useful and practical design reference that is well worth the purchase price. I must have a dozen books on power supply design and this text stands out as one of the very best.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent! content but lousy print
*by D***. on September 6, 2017*

Excellent! content but lousy print! The material was prepared for colored printing but the book is printed in black and white. Some content, especially on the pictures is barely visible. I give four instead of five stars because of lousy print.
