Designing Control Loops for Linear and Switching Power Supplies: A Tutorial Guide 1st Edition by Christophe Basso (PDF)

Description

Loop control is an essential area of electronics engineering that today’s professionals need to master. Rather than delving into extensive theory, this practical book focuses on what you really need to know for compensating or stabilizing a given control system. You can turn instantly to practical sections with numerous design examples and ready-made formulas to help you with your projects in the field. You also find coverage of the underpinnings and principles of control loops so you can gain a more complete understanding of the material. This authoritative volume explains how to conduct analysis of control systems and provides extensive details on practical compensators. It helps you measure your system, showing how to verify if a prototype is stable and features enough design margin. Moreover, you learn how to secure high-volume production by bench-verified safety margins.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Here’s the short review:If you are new to power electronics and control systems, then this is the book for you. Everything, starting with the basics, is explained in easy to understand language. If you are very experienced with power controls, then this is also the book for you. The book covers everything and probably has a few tips and tricks that you haven’t seen before.Here’s the longer review:I’ve been doing power electronics professionally for nearly 15 years. And the most difficult (and mysterious) part of it has always been loop control. I don’t know why this is, but it is a common source of confusion among power circuit designers. Most of us learn from white papers, app notes, IC tutorials, etc. Its a very convoluted way to learn though–everyone has a slightly different take on the topic, and it just gets confusing. There are textbooks which cover some of this material. But they tend to fall into one of 3 categories. They are either rather simplistic (they only apply to a few easy situations), or full endless equations and derivations (their point gets lost), or they only include the author’s “preferred” method for stabilizing power systems (and so they ignore the fundamentals).Enter now Christophe Basso’s 3rd book: “Designing Control Loops for Linear and Switching Power Supplies.” (The other 2 books, particularly the “Switch Mode Power Supplies”, are excellent also.) I’m sure you can find the table of contents online, so I won’t repeat it here. There are 9 chapters that break the book up into basically 3 parts:1. Fundamentals of Control (which I could also title: “things I forgot from college” or “things I ‘should’ know and so I’m embarrassed to ask my coworkers about”). These chapters are fantastic. All the control theory, transforms, etc. are presented in a sensible way. It takes a lot of the mystery out of understanding power control. And Basso has a very natural style of writing that puts all the material in easy to understand language–but without dumbing down the principles.2. Op amp topologies and stabilization techniques. This also includes the most popular, and least discussed ones–the transconductance amp and the TL431.3. How to measure and verify the loop design. Very few authors write about this, but it is one of the most important aspects to control loop design. Basso answers the why, where and how of verifying and correcting the loop design.Each chapter also includes examples and simulation models.A book like this is long overdue for the power electronics community. I’m convinced it will be one of the must have books for every power designer to have in their library.

⭐Mr. Basso, with the release of this book, has produced another important work sure to become a standard in power electronics and a “must have” for the college student to senior designer. Basso is able to take theory and seamlessly transform it into concise and insightful observations of real applications and circuits. Mr. Basso can take esoteric controls and s-plane plots and explain them that gives not only a solution but an understanding as well. It blends theory, reality, and practice of the past 30 years into one well written book.I do not leave home without Mr. Basso’s prior masterpiece of “Switch Mode Power Supplies” and this book is a welcome complement.I would strongly advise anyone in design, testting, or analysis of control loops to add this tool to their toolkit.Merci Messr. Basso!!

⭐I’m enjoying the book’s wealth of well-written discussions, but encountered quite a few errors. I then discovered that Amazon had shipped me (in 2021) a “first printing” edition, when that was replaced in 2014 or 2015 with a second printing with many dozens of problems fixed.So, the later printing of the book probably deserves 4 or 5 stars, but I’m awarding 2 stars because this printing’s errors are frustrating and I’m sending it back.

⭐I would recommend both books of Christophe basso to every engineer who has experience or about to gain experience. I enjoyed his first book very much, this book is also another masterpiece to improve knowledge in feedback loop design. Read Basso’s book his books will help you get a great understanding of power supply design over your computer with simulations giving a thorough knowledge. For sure he has kept lot of effort in writing these books.Thank you Sir!! I would first read his switch mode power supply book, then read this book.He has given several equations for various combinations of OTS, opamp,TL431 with optocoupler. A must have book. I have a request for Mr. Basso : please create a book on LLC design.

⭐I have read many books and articles written on power supply control loop design and analysis, but never have I seen a more comprehensive treatment as Christophe’s latest work. I highly recommend this book for beginners as well that those very skilled in the art of power supply design. As the author recommends, working through the equations yourself brings insight to a subject that is seldom treated in such analytic rigor. As a reviewer of this work, I could not wait to see it in print and very excited that Christophe put so much effort to explain in great detail an important aspect of power supply supply design. This is a must have for anyone who is involved in power electronics.

⭐Liked the straightforward explanation without no hesitation to run into the details, clear and to the point,A big thanks to Mr. Basso!

⭐Excellent book on power supply feedback loops. Basso presents extremely practical and relevant info and examples. He goes into great detail about various ways to implement optos into a feedback loop for isolated supplies, which is often left out in the chapter or two pertaining to feedback that is found in all of the other prolific power supply books.

⭐a book you have to have with the book Switch-Mode Power Supplies by Christophe P. Basso

⭐I am now the proud owner of two Christophe Basso publications and despite the heafty price tag this book is a “must have” not only for power supply engineers but any engineers that may require a knowledge of loop stability – a subject I strugled with for some time to understand, laplace transform theory in this (and A to Z of Switching Power Supplies SECOND EDITION by another author) have left me wondering why I struggled for so long when it is so simple. I say simple as to read a book on this subject matter your maths is probably at a level to cope with the concepts presented in the logical and sequential manner of this book.Once again I take my hat of to Christophe Basso. I have also found the author to be quite approachable and helpful when contacted via his webbsite in a way I have not experienced with any other technical author.

⭐Thoroughly explains practical issues on control loop design for power electronics. It offers theoretical description and derivations for every step and provides lots of references for background. The examples given help a lot and the chapters on OPAMPs, TL431, OTAs and shunt regulators are invaluable!It solved me lots of technical questions! This book is a must for the power electronics engineer!
