PROVEN TECHNIQUES FOR GENERATING HIGH-FIDELITY MEASUREMENTSPower Integrity: Measuring, Optimizing, and Troubleshooting Power Related Parameters in Electronics Systems provides field-tested techniques for producing high-fidelity measurements using the appropriate equipment.The book thoroughly discusses measurement guidelines, test instrument selection and use, connecting the equipment to the device being tested, and interpreting the acquired data. The latest electronics technologies and their impact on measurement are discussed.Detailed photographs, screenshots, schematics, and equations are included throughout this practical guide.Learn how to accurately measure: - Impedance - Stability - Power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) - Reverse transfer and crosstalk - Step load response - Ripple and noise - Edges - High-frequency impedanceForeword by Istvan NovakAfterword by Robert Bolanos

In a reprint of Steve Sandler's classic technical book, PWM models and power supply simulation solutions are described in depth--with special attention paid to practical magnetic components. All common topologies are discussed, including linear, buck and flyback converters. Practical guidance is given for EMI/RFI filtering and magnetics design and analysis. Most of the book's code (available to book purchasers) will run, unaltered, on all of popular SPICE versions, including PSPSICE, LTSpice and Tina. Sometimes maligned, SPICE can provide very accurate results that correlate with real circuit operation if accurate models are used. As an internationally recognized power supply expert and zealot for improved power integrity, Steve Sandler's classic Switched-Mode Power Supply Simulation is a valuable resource for any Engineer's bookshelf.
