The book covers all aspects of modern power architecture, balancing straightforward equations with intuitive explanations of circuit behavior. 1. Linear vs. Switch-Mode Principles
It is described as a "handy reference" for tracking down forgotten equations or understanding the trade-offs in robust design.
) and gain margins to prevent oscillation under all operating conditions. Synchronous Rectification and Efficiency Optimization
: Separate chapters provide in-depth analysis of magnetic design and methods for complying with electromagnetic compatibility (EMI) and safety regulations.
At its core, this is the textbook that many power engineers have been waiting for. It is a well-polished, distilled summary of a 40-year engineering education, written by a master of the craft. For its target audience, it is likely the most valuable power supply book you can own.
Mammano organized these concepts into a 13-chapter, 333-page volume that translates theoretical concepts into practical, actionable design methods. Key Content Covered in Mammano’s 2017 Book
To understand the weight of this book, one must first understand the stature of its author. Bob Mammano is not merely an engineer; he is a founding father of the modern power electronics industry, widely recognized as the “father of the PWM controller IC industry”. His seminal design, the SG1524, developed in 1975, was the first fully integrated circuit that brought the complex control functions of a switching power supply onto a single chip, ushering in the age of efficient and compact switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).
This commitment to practical education ensures that abstract concepts are not just understood intellectually, but are connected to the physical reality of a working power supply.
Limitations
Employs a dual-loop architecture. An inner loop senses inductor current, while an outer loop monitors voltage. This effectively eliminates the inductor pole from the loop transfer function, turning the plant into a single-pole system that is much easier to stabilize. It also provides inherent pulse-by-pulse current limiting. Compensator Design
For applications where the input and output share a common ground, Mammano breaks down the fundamental switching regulators:
A standout section is his advice on measuring loop stability using a network analyzer and injecting a small signal. He notes, “A power supply that oscillates is not a power supply—it is a heater or a transmitter.”
