This report documents the final phase of a two-phase special project whose objective is to provide insight to both PSMA members and the broader electronics industry on the impact that power supply miniaturization and integration is having and the opportunities for new business that it enables.

The technology report builds on the work of the first phase of the effort – an in depth survey of this emerging market – documented in the PSMA publication, "Market and Technology Report – Power Supply in Package - Power Supply on a Chip" issued in February 2008. The second phase focused on benchmarking six leading-edge commercial products, evaluating their performance, identifying the technologies and materials used to fabricate them and determining the progress and likely future direction of the technology based on these findings. The work was carried out by Tyndall National Institute (Cork, Ireland) with significant inputs from both the Power Electronics Research Laboratory (PERL) at University College Cork (Ireland) and Anagenesis Inc. (El Segundo, CA, USA).

This Sixth Edition Report includes presentations and discussions from many of the industry's most influential members representing end-users, power supply manufacturers, component suppliers, consultants and academia.

This report provides detailed projections for the next three to four years of various technologies in a quantitative form. There was special emphasis on how the increasing use of digital technologies will affect the industry in the next four years.

The technology trend analysis and the roadmap is provided for the following specific product families expected to be the areas of largest market growth:

• Ac-dc front end power supplies – 1 kW from a single phase ac source
• External ac-dc power supplies
• Dc-dc bus converters
• Non-isolated dc-dc converters

This book focuses on the fundamental behavior and characteristics of switchmode power converters and on the relative merits of many popular topologies. The first 11 chapters present the basic theory of switchmode power converter circuits with minimal use of mathematics. Chapter 12 focuses on converter circuits with integrated magnetics and concludes with an extensive bibliography and helpful lists of suggested reading materials for reference and research purposes.

This classic book, written by one of the most respected teachers in the field of magnetics, makes the principles of applied magnetics accessible to the practicing electronics engineer. With emphasis on practical design, the text presents the relevant principles of physics, circuit analysis, simple models and the calculations involved in designing a circuit or a magnetic device. Applications of magnetics, including those associated with power electronics circuits, are covered as well as reluctance modeling methods for transformers and inductors.

This report documents the first phase of a two phase special project whose objective is to provide insight to both PSMA members and the broader electronics industry as to the potential impact of this paradigm shift within the power supply industry. The report documents the result of a comprehensive study that involved in-depth interviews with major players, as well as reviews of industry and academic reports and literature.

This publication was sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and PSMA. This benchmark report captures the major possible energy efficiency improvements for the entire power network from Power Generator to the Integrated Circuit (the load). The intense breakout sessions provided thought-provoking challenges and solutions which will influence the industry effort for the next decade. This 200 page report provides an excellent opportunity to better understand the energy efficiency of the entire electric power chain.

This publication has been completely revised and updated. In addition to definitions, there are eight appendices providing resource information on testing and standards agencies, world voltages and frequencies and EMI and MIL specs. There is also valuable information on writing technical publications and guides for units, symbols and style. A CD is included with this publication.

This is the third in a series of classic magnetics texts offered to designers and students in the power electronics industry. The book, authored by the late Rueben Lee and co-authored by Leo Wilson and Charles E. Carter was initially published by John Wiley and Sons in 1988, but has been out of print for several years. Lee's classic book is considered by many magnetics design specialists as a thoroughly practical book in designing many types of magnetics devices and their applications, including power and pulse transformers and inductive components.
 

This is the second in a series of classic magnetics texts offered to designers and students in the power electronics industry. The book, by Eric Snelling, was initially published in 1969 and was extensively revised by the author in 1988 to bring all eleven chapters in line with current design practices and applications of ferrite cores used in modern-day inductors and transformers. The aim of this unique 366-page reprint is to provide all the information on ferrite properties and wound-component design necessary for efficient applications of these materials. Data in the book are represented by means of extensive use of graphs and tables, and design procedures are supported by many working examples of inductors and transformers
 
According to Stephen Carlsen, PSMA Magnetics Committee Chair, "Snelling's book is considered by many working design engineers as the 'ferrite user's bible' and PSMA is pleased to make this wonderful text available once again."
 

This document is intended as a guide for writers of specifications, catalogs, application notes and correspondence in power electronics. It is derived from the current international standard, ANSI/IEEE Std 260.1-1993, used by the electronics industry world- wide when writing in English. It is printing in a one page (two sides) format which is laminated and pre-punched for convenient filing in a notebook type binder. The Power Sources Manufacturers Association has prepared this guide in hope that it will lead to more uniform documentation and correspondence in the power electronics industry.
