Published on January 1, 2017, by Texas Instruments, is widely considered a definitive reference for power electronics engineers. Authored by Robert (Bob) A. Mammano—affectionately known as the "Father of the PWM Controller"—the book synthesizes over 40 years of technical expertise from the renowned Unitrode and Texas Instruments Power Supply Design Seminars . About the Author: Bob Mammano
Drawing directly from his invention of the SG1524, Mammano dedicates significant space to the PWM controller—how it generates a sawtooth wave, compares it to an error signal, and creates the duty cycle that drives the power switch. He covers voltage-mode and current-mode control, explaining the trade-offs in stability and transient response. He covers voltage-mode and current-mode control
