Summary
Summary
*No previous design experience is required to use the techniques described *All popular forms of linear supplies are covered in detail (including zener, 3-terminal, feedback, current foldback, op-amp, series, shunt, and IC package). *Extensive use of headings and subheadings helps the reader seeking information on specific types of supplies Simplified Design of Linear Power Supplies is an all-inclusive, one-stop guide to linear power-supply design, using step-by-step instructions and diagrams. The first half of the book describes how linear power supplies operate, and explains what is required to design such supplies. The second half provides specific design examples, using the techniques described in the first half. The basic approach is to start design problems with approximations for trial-value components in experimental circuits, then to vary the component values until the desired results (input/output, voltage and current, line and load regulation, ripple rejection, noise, etc.) are produced. The design examples can be put to immediate use, as is, or can be modified as required to meet a specific design goal, by following the instructions.

This "how-to" book for beginners bridges the gap between classroom theory and the practical knowledge required to build a linear power supply that works. Although the use of such devices has decreased over the past 20 years in favor of switching power supplies, they are still extensively used in many applications. Lenk gives detailed instructions on their design and construction, and describes power supplies made of discrete components, operational amplifiers (op amps), and integrated circuits (ICs). A chapter describes the use of heat sinks; another is devoted to testing power supplies, including how to avoid common problems such as ground loops. Lenk is a prolific writer on the practical considerations of different aspects of electrical engineering (he has more than 35 books in print). Similar books covering all types of power supplies are Irving M. Gottlieb's Design and Build Electronic Power Supplies (1991) and his Regulated Power Supplies, (4th ed., 1992). Lenk's book is excellent for an undergraduate library. General; undergraduate; two-year technical program students. L. J. Bohmann; Michigan Technological University
