Product Description
Using this book as a guide, Pressman promises, even a novice can immediately design a complete switching power supply circuit. No other book has such complete instruction in one volume. Using a tutorial, how-to approach, Pressman covers every aspect of this new technology, including circuit and transformer design, using higher switching frequencies, new topologies, and integrated PWM chips. For this latest edition, Pressman has added in-depth discussion of power factor correction, high-frequency ballasts for fluorescent lamps, and low-input voltage power supplies for laptop computers.

Review of Switching Power Supply Design, 3rd Ed. July 13, 2010
Marshall G. Seaborn
Switching Power Supply Design, 3rd Ed. is a thourough and exhaustive presentation of the subject matter of switching power supply design. I read many other text before I discovered the book. But this one finally brought the subject home for me.

I just got into the field of switching power supplies recently and I was looking for a good book. I've read some books out there which had maybe the same information in this one, but it was very clear for me that this is "The One".
What I like most about this book is the logical flow of the subjects discussed. When he explains one topology for instance, he really goes from A to Z and explains how every part is working, why it's working this way, what problems this might cause, how to resolve them, etc. He even shows you all his formula derivations so you won't miss anything.
On top of that, he gave each sub-system (I would call it) of the switching power supply its own chapter, like Transistors and control circuits. In most of the text I've read, these sub-systems are mentioned only during explaining a topology.
The best of all, he discussed switching power supplies in terms of control theory, where analysis becomes much easier showing you the advantages or disadvantages of a topology from the poles and zeros of there response.
I have other books I want to read in this subject, but I can't imagine any book that would compete with this one.
NOTE: He kept referring to equation 1.17 which was the wrong reference, but I guess that's redundant.

If you need to design power supplies of any type, this book is the reference. Highly practical, yet contains enough theory to provide a working understanding how the basic configurations function. Essential addition to your electronic design library.

Bought this book to help build a SMPS for work. The book was very helpful. This book is an Engineer's Dream Come True when it comes to understanding and designing power supplies. Also bought Billings' "Switchmode Power Supply Handbook" as a companion to this one.
If you are in the business of building power supplies, or just want to understand more about power conversion, BUY THIS BOOK! It has sections on designing snubbers and also a good section on Power Factor Correction circuits.
One word of warning: when using the formulas keep in mind that they are for one particular topology. So you need to read and understand the text (plus an Engineering background is a must) so you can derive your own equations that fit your own particular circuit topology.
 Very good reference about power supply design June 30, 2009

Regarding the content, I'm still reading the book but it is very interesting, I bought this book because it is a very good reference as far as the power supply design is concerned
