Mammano Robert A. 2017. Fundamentals Of Power Supply Design. Texas Instruments

This is where Mammano shines. He methodically breaks down the three primary topologies:

Before diving into the content, it is crucial to understand the weight of the author's authority. In the 1970s, while working at Silicon General, Mammano designed the SG1524. Before this IC, switching power supplies were built with dozens of discrete components. The SG1524 integrated the oscillator, voltage reference, error amplifier, and pulse-width modulation (PWM) control onto a single chip, revolutionizing the industry. This is where Mammano shines
