Design Texas Instruments — Mammano Robert A 2017 Fundamentals Of Power Supply

Keeping the physical loop areas of AC switching currents as small as possible to reduce radiated emissions.

A primary challenge highlighted in the text is navigating the complex trade-offs between physical form factor, conversion efficiency, and manufacturing cost. The book begins by transitioning from basic linear voltage regulation to modern high-frequency switch-mode topologies. Non-Isolated vs. Isolated Topologies Keeping the physical loop areas of AC switching

Published on January 1, 2017, by Texas Instruments, is widely considered a definitive reference for power electronics engineers. Authored by Robert (Bob) A. Mammano—affectionately known as the "Father of the PWM Controller"—the book synthesizes over 40 years of technical expertise from the renowned Unitrode and Texas Instruments Power Supply Design Seminars .

While many books focus narrowly on theory, "Fundamentals of Power Supply Design" takes a more holistic, engineering-driven approach. It's designed as a "readable and practical introduction" that uses "just enough math" to explain concepts clearly. Mammano—affectionately known as the "Father of the PWM

) inherently generate electromagnetic interference (EMI). Mammano treats EMI not as an afterthought, but as a core design constraint.

Nevertheless, these omissions do not diminish its value as a foundation. Once you master Mammano’s fundamentals, learning GaN or digital control becomes a small step.

Non-isolated DC-DC converters are used when the input and output share a common ground. Mammano covers the three fundamental switching regulators:
