content: Hey guys,I am trying to learn designing a SMPS, I want to know how to I go forward with it. Which book show I refer or is there any other resources available. I would love to if the resource is more practically oriented but can deal with anything right now just want to learn.Thank you guys,YashRK.

content: The Art of Electronics has an excellent chapter on power conversionhttps://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/electronics-primers-course-material-and-books/msg653586/#msg653586as does the numerous free resources from Linear.comhttp://www.linear.com/doclist/?ci=1003I find theThe Post Apocalyptic Inventorto be both entertaining and helpful on SMPS

content: Hi to all.If you are interested in SMPS, I have some videos that may be useful. I go thru step by step and show you how to derive the equations needed to design a simple flyback converter and then teach you how to use Topspice to simulate a flyback converter. These videos are a work in process and where intended to train my fellow coworkers at work. I hope you find them useful. Questions and comments can be sent to rbola35618@aol.com or you can post them here.Robert BolanosMay your simulation always converge!Flyback 1: How to analyze and model a flybackFlyback 2: How to model and simulate a flybackFlyback 3: How to model the transformerFlyback 4:How to model the transformer and simulateFlyback 5: How to account for efficiency and dutycycleFlyback 6: How to wind and characterize a transformerFlyback 7: Testing the transformerFlyback 8: How to measure and set the control loopFlyback 9: Input filter designFlyback 10: Input filter differential mode noiseFlyback 11: Input filter common mode noise

content: Thank you guys helpfulas usual and Robert will go through your video I guess if I get the design part of one type of smps it will be easy to design other topologies thank you for making these videos !!
