This blog post explores the core principles of power supply design as detailed in Robert Mammano's definitive technical compendium.
: He treats magnetics—inductors and transformers—as a critical differentiator between casual and expert designers, focusing on practical selection and custom design rather than just using off-the-shelf references Real-World Compliance and Construction
The "Father of PWM": Mammano’s expertise stems from designing the first integrated PWM controller IC (the SG1524) in 1974.
