The Faraday Press Edition of István Novák's historic Power Distribution Network Design Methodologies brings to print important coverage of power system design topics including circuit board layout strategies, capacitor characterization and selection, controlled impedance design and guidance for system-level engineering.Power Distribution Network (PDN) design procedures are covered in practical detail-covering topics including the buck converter topology, the proper selection and placement of bypass capacitors, power requirements of memory systems, powering FPGAs and designing/controlling wideband power delivery impedances. As clock speeds and power density requirements progress, the challenges of a robust system design becomes more and more important.Power Distribution Network Design is a valuable resource for the global community of power supply designers.

The Fast Track to Determining Transfer Functions of Linear Circuits is a condensed student guide teaching readers about first-, second- and third-order linear transfer functions commonly encountered in the design of electronic systems.Fast Analytical Circuits Techniques (FACTs) reduce mathematical overhead and often eliminate the use of complex equations for circuit analysis. If a circuit is too complicated, it is split into simpler subcircuits that can be evaluated individually. The intermediate results are then assembled to form a desired final result. FACTs work on RLC networks, but also on active circuits featuring operational amplifiers (op-amps) or transistors.Chapters List:Transfer FunctionsFast Analytical Circuits TechniquesZeroes of a Transfer FunctionGeneralized Transfer Functions.First-Order Transfer FunctionsSecond-Order Transfer FunctionsThird-Order Transfer FunctionsAppendix: Illustrating the Process of Determining Poles and ZeroesThe goal of this book is to be practical and lead the reader to solve problems by applying step-by-step approaches. In many cases, the only required accessories are a sheet of paper and a pen. Chapters one to four are a crash course on the FACTs. The following chapters detail how to determine transfer functions of classical networks from the first to third order. After going through the proposed examples at your own pace, the reader will master the techniques for analyzing RLC networks in the frequency domain.The book is an ideal companion for students who want to understand and master linear circuit behavior. BSEE, MSEE and Ph.D students will find many useful descriptions and methods which can be applied to linear circuit design and further study.

The exact nature of electricity was a mystery that tantalized scientists for centuries. As its power was revealed, it excited a succession of brilliant inventors from Nikola Tesla to Robert Noyce.Their discoveries revolutionized the world.In unflinching detail, Camenzind describes their personal ambitions, conflicts, betrayals, and successes, creating a masterful synthesis of human interest and lucid technical description, unlike any other book on this subject.Who was Hans Camenzind?He was an engineer in the early days of Silicon Valley who single-handedly developed the most successful integrated circuit chip in history--the 555 timer.Thus, he was uniquely situated to write this brilliant historical document.

Transfer Functions of Switching Converters teaches readers how to determine transfer functions of switching power supplies commonly encountered in consumer and industrial markets. The book starts with a smooth introduction to switching cells, going into the details of the first steps of linearization and small-signal modulation. You will then learn how the PWM switch model was derived and how to apply it to the basic structures operated in fixed switching frequency and various operating conditions like continuous and discontinuous modes in voltage- or current-mode control. The model is extended to other control schemes like quasi-resonance, constant on- and off-time converters, all with an associated small-signal version. The following chapters explore the founding structures like the buck, the boost and buck-boost cells, later covering their isolated versions like forward or flyback converters. The last chapter deals with more complicated structures like Ćuk, Zeta, SEPIC and LLC.
