Power Integrity Book by Steven Sandler
Power Integrity Book by Steven Sandler
A complete guide to the proper selection and use of test equipment for the measurement of modern power electronics
"…Sandler focuses upon the best practices that he and his colleagues have used as 'tried and true' methods to correctly represent the (PDN) performance of a circuit in an actual environment in which it will be used."
Power Integrity provides engineers with expert insight on selecting and implementing appropriate test equipment to effectively measure increasingly higher speed electronics. The book contains field-tested information related to the interpretation of results, common measurement issues and resolutions, and application examples. You’ll learn how to select the appropriate equipment and use effective techniques to reduce production problems, improve performance, and provide a figure of merit for comparing different parts and manufacturers.
- Teaches how to properly assess electronics from a black box perspective with a minimally invasive approach
- Covers measurement and troubleshooting techniques for EMI, a particular challenge in tablets and smartphones
- Discusses the latest devices such as Enhancement Gallium Nitride on Silicon (eGaN)
"For those of you who design and verify power supplies, I would highly recommend Steve's new book to ensure your designs are built and characterised correctly."
