Practical Power Solutions, 2009

Practical Power Solutions, Edited by Walt Kester, Analog Devices, 2009.

This is the second book from Analog Devices on power management, and it discusses modern power solutions using linear regulators, switching regulators, hot swap controllers, sequencers. Power circuit applications are included for FPGAs, DSPs, and microprocessors. A special section is dedicated to techniques for efficiently powering low noise mixed-signal and linear circuits. . PCB layout techniques are discussed that minimize noise of switching regulators.
