Overview
Power Integrity: Measuring, Optimizing, and Troubleshooting Power-Related Parameters in Electronics Systems is an indispensable resource for electronics engineers. Authored by Steve Sandler, this comprehensive guide provides expert insights into selecting and implementing appropriate test equipment for measuring modern power electronics. The book offers field-tested information on result interpretation, common measurement issues, and practical applications.
Engineers will learn effective techniques to reduce production problems, improve performance, and establish benchmarks for comparing different components and manufacturers. The guide covers crucial topics such as EMI measurement in tablets and smartphones, and discusses the latest devices like Enhancement Gallium Nitride on Silicon (eGaN). It teaches a minimally invasive approach to assessing electronics from a black box perspective, ensuring designs are built and characterised correctly.
This essential reference is ideal for anyone involved in designing or utilising power systems, including those working with voltage regulators, linear or switching power supplies. It provides valuable experience in making accurate, high-fidelity measurements, helping engineers gain confidence in their test procedures and learn to identify bad test data. Power Integrity is a must-have for power supply and PDN designers seeking to optimise their systems and stay ahead in the field of electronics design.
