PREFACE

The author team of this book provides thorough explanations of principles, analyses of applications, and offers a plethora of case studies and simulation data. This aids readers in comprehending the principles of power supply technology and its practical applications, mastering the core aspects of power supply application techniques. The book delves into various aspects such as the background knowledge of power sources, the non-idealities of power source components, and the importance of power integrity. It systematically introduces readers to the fundamental concepts and classification methods in the field of power sources, covering different classifications such as conversion types, linear/switching, isolated/non-isolated, and modulation types. This book helps readers review some fundamental concepts such as effective current, Fourier transform, and control theory, forming a complete learning cycle. It also enables theoretical understanding combined with practical application, which is very helpful for developers to solidify their foundational knowledge and apply it to real projects.

The book discusses the purposes and non-idealities of each type of component in power source circuits. It might be a good point to start learning about power sources. This is what sets this book apart from other power supply literature—its unique perspective from the viewpoint of circuit designers, making it highly practical.

The chapter about power integrity is a very good resource to learn about this topic. It first explains power integrity by listing the factors that would affect power integrity. Some factors such as the instantaneous load current and the choices of decoupling capacitors are explained in detail with examples and simulations. Furthermore, the concept of PDN and target impedance are explained briefly. After that, the book introduces the full procedures of setting up and running ADS simulations (DC, AC, and electro-thermal). Each step is explained in detailed instructions and illustrated by software screenshots. I particularly like that the book has deeper explanation of some of the options in simulation settings. I think it is a good way to better understand the simulations. The procedures of obtaining capacitor models are explained in detail in the AC simulation part. After all the simulations, the book shows the procedures of impedance optimization.

The book explains concepts and procedures in a detailed but not complicated way. In addition, the word choice throughout the book make me feel comfortable.

這本書的作者團隊對電源技術的原理進行了深入的解釋，分析了具體應用，并提供了大量的研究案例和仿真數據。這有助于讀者理解電源技術的原理及其實際應用，以及掌握電源應用技術的核心方法。該書深入探討了諸如電源的背景知識、電源電路中各種元器件的非理想性及電源完整性的重要性等各個方面。它系統地向讀者介紹了電源領域的基本概念和分類方法，涵蓋了不同的分類，如電源轉換類型、線性/開關型、隔離/非隔離型和調制類型等。該書幫助讀者復習了一些基本概念，如有效電流、傅里葉變換和控制理論，形成了一個完整的學習循環。它將理論理解與實際應用相結合，能幫助開發人員鞏固基礎知識，并將其應用于實際項目。

該書討論了電源電路中每種類型組件的目的和非理想性。這可能是開始學習電源的一個很好的起點。這正是這本書與其他電源文獻不同的地方——它以電路設計者的視角提供了獨特的觀點，使其具有高度的實用性。

關于電源完整性的章節是學習該主題的一個很好的資源。它首先通過列舉影響電源完整性的因素來解釋電源完整性。例如，瞬態負載電流和去耦合電容的選擇，通過例子和仿真進行了詳細解釋。此外，也簡要介紹了PDN和目標阻抗的概念。之后，該書介紹了設置和運行ADS仿真（DC、AC和電熱）的完整步驟。每個步驟都有詳細的說明和軟件截圖示例。我特別喜歡這本書中對仿真設置中一些選項的更深層次解釋。我認為這是更好地理解仿真的一種好方法。在AC仿真部分，詳細介紹了獲取電容模型的過程。在講完所有的仿真之后，該書展示了阻抗優化的過程。

這本書以詳細但不復雜的方式解釋了概念和流程。此外，整本書的用詞讓我感到舒適。
