Fully updated to incorporate new SPICE features and capabilities, this practical guide explains, step by step, how to simulate, test, and improve switch-mode power supplydesigns. Detailed formulas with founding equations are included. Based on the author's continued research and in-depth, handson work in the field, this revised resource offers a collection of the latest SPICE solutions to the most difficult problem facing power supply designers: creating smaller, more heat-efficient power supplies in shorter design cycles.

NEW to this edition:

• Complete analysis of rms currents for the three basic cells in CCM and DCM
• PWM switch at work in the small-signal analysis of the DCM boost and the QR flyback
