Power electronics resources

(OP)
Hi,

I have recently come across fromt the RF Engineering field into digital electronics, and I need to look into power supply design for a project.  Can anyone point me towards any useful resources on the internet showing theory, example circuits etc.

Thanks

Dave Roseman

RE: Power electronics resources

All depends on what you are trying to design.  Probably the best places to start with are the semi mfg websites.

www.linear.com  for Linear Tech.  Great on giving demo boards
www.national.com again a great source, webbench can simulate
www.maxim.com - never use them for production but great for samples.

Thanks for the response hrc.  What I am looking at is a reasonably simple variable voltage / variable current dc bench type power supply running off 240Vac mains, so that I can get my head around the basic design before moving on to more sophisticated designs.

RE: Power electronics resources

By all means go to the sites hrc suggested and check their application notes on power supplies.  You will find schematics for all types of supplies.

National has their "work bench" dig into that and it will generate schematics with full parts lists for you.

RE: Power electronics resources

Have a look at the link in thread238-119812. Obviously biased toward their own products, but plenty of useful stuff that applies to any power electronics design.
