{"product_id":"dc-power-supplies-nihal-kularatna-9780415802475","title":"DC Power Supplies: Power Management and Surge Protection for Power Electronic Systems","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs we increasingly use electronic devices to direct our daily lives, so grows our dependence on reliable energy sources to power them. Because modern electronic systems demand steady, efficient, reliable DC voltage sources--often at a sub-1V level--commercial AC lines, batteries, and other common resources no longer suffice. New technologies also require intricate techniques to protect against natural and manmade disasters. Still, despite its importance, practical information on this critical subject remains hard to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing simple, accessible language to balance coverage of theoretical and practical aspects, \u003cstrong\u003eDC Power Supplies, Power Management and Surge Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e details the essentials of power electronics circuits applicable to low-power systems, including modern portable devices. A summary of underlying principles and essential design points, it compares academic research and industry publications and reviews DC power supply fundamentals, including linear and low-dropout regulators. Content also addresses common switching regulator topologies, exploring resonant conversion approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoverage includes other important topics such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eControl aspects and control theory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDigital control and control ICs used in switching regulators\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePower management and energy efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOverall power conversion stage and basic protection strategies for higher reliability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBattery management and comparison of battery chemistries and charge\/discharge management\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSurge and transient protection of circuits designed with modern semiconductors based on submicron dimension transistors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis specialized design resource explores applicable fundamental elements of power sources, with numerous cited references and discussion of commercial components and manufacturers.
