PREFACE
The author team of this book provides thorough explanations of principles, analyses of applications, and offers a plethora of case studies and simulation data. This aids readers in comprehending the principles of power supply technology and its practical applications, mastering the core aspects of power supply application techniques. The book delves into various aspects such as the background knowledge of power sources, the non-idealities of power source components, and the importance of power integrity. It systematically introduces readers to the fundamental concepts and classification methods in the field of power sources, covering different classifications such as conversion types, linear/switching, isolated/non-isolated, and modulation types. This book helps readers review some fundamental concepts such as effective current, Fourier transform, and control theory, forming a complete learning cycle. It also enables theoretical understanding combined with practical application, which is very helpful for developers to solidify their foundational knowledge and apply it to real projects.
The book discusses the purposes and non-idealities of each type of component in power source circuits. It might be a good point to start learning about power sources. This is what sets this book apart from other power supply literature—its unique perspective from the viewpoint of circuit designers, making it highly practical.
The chapter about power integrity is a very good resource to learn about this topic. It first explains power integrity by listing the factors that would affect power integrity. Some factors such as the instantaneous load current and the choices of decoupling capacitors are explained in detail with examples and simulations. Furthermore, the concept of PDN and target impedance are explained briefly. After that, the book introduces the full procedures of setting up and running ADS simulations (DC, AC, and electro-thermal). Each step is explained in detailed instructions and illustrated by software screenshots. I particularly like that the book has deeper explanation of some of the options in simulation settings. I think it is a good way to better understand the simulations. The procedures of obtaining capacitor models are explained in detail in the AC simulation part. After all the simulations, the book shows the procedures of impedance optimization.
The book explains concepts and procedures in a detailed but not complicated way. In addition, the word choice throughout the book make me feel comfortable.
