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

For most engineers, inductors and transformers are the most intimidating components. Mammano demystifies them, offering practical rules for core selection (ferrite, iron powder, etc.), avoiding saturation, and calculating inductance and turns ratios without resorting to Maxwell's equations alone.

A power supply is a critical component of any electronic system, responsible for converting AC power from the mains to DC power that can be used by the system's components. The design of a power supply involves a deep understanding of electrical engineering principles, as well as a thorough knowledge of the specific requirements of the system being powered. A well-designed power supply must be efficient, reliable, and able to provide a stable output voltage, while also meeting regulatory requirements for safety and electromagnetic compatibility. For most engineers, inductors and transformers are the
