Summary: Probably not worth your money
Comment: I got very little out of this book. I think it's far too shallow to be of any practical use. There is a slight amount of theory in the first two chapters, but after that it's just a bunch of "recipes" for simulating the various topolgies. These "recipes" don't contain much useful information. If you're a beginner, you'll get lost because so much is left out. If your already an experienced power supply designer, you probably already know everything covered here. The CD has some good demo software, but you can download that stuff yourself for free.

Summary: Great Help
Comment: The book is simple an easy to follow. The Models alone are worth the price of the book.

Summary: Ready to use CookBook
Comment: To my best knowledge, the well-written book gives for the first time a comprehensive treatment of spice and switched-mode power supplies (SMPS's). A short history of modelling techniques is discussed with references to relevant literature; also some tricks to speed up a simulation are given. The main part of the book consists of the small-signal (averaged) and transient models for the most common converters, such as buck, boost, flyback, forward, half-bridge, etc.; all illustrated by examples. Most of the examples are available in electronic format on the accompanying CD-ROM; the reader can start quite quickly with experimenting with the templates. Unfortunately, extracting the models from IsSpice (which we use) is quite cumbersome, since first the demo version has to be installed before the models are available. This demo version conflicts with the commercial version (although Intusoft gives a solution on their web-site). In a next release it would be very helpful to distribute the models separately on the CD (or web?). Nevertheless, the book is according to my opinion very useful for people working in the field of SMPS's. Calculating the closed-loop response and stability analysis is now really easy. Comprehensive, easy to read. Good work.
