Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This is a practical guide to state-of-the-art power supply design. Covering numerous aspects of this new technology, this complete manual on designing modern power supplies is distinguished by three features: emphasis is placed not only on circuit design but also on transformer design; numerous photographs of actual oscilloscope traces show waveforms at critical points in most of the commonly used topologies at various frequencies; and a tutorial approach is taken throughout the book, encouraging readers to participate in the derivation of all important principles and equations.
