UNITRODE (TI) POWER SUPPLY DESIGN
SEMINAR BOOKS ONLINE



Texas Instruments (formerly Unitrode) seminars are part of TI analog technical training. In the process, TI also updates on its new controllers and other power management integrated circuits. The seminars normally combine tutorial review of basic principles and "hands-on" design examples on various power conversion topics. Although in my view, the latest seminars were not as useful as they used to be, over time they have covered virtually all main switching power supply design topics. Their archives certainly provide excellent reference info for the SMPS designers. Here you will find links to the books from 1996 till present. For the manuals from 1983 to 1996 go to page.
