Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around resources for learning about Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) and Low Drop Out (LDO) regulators, specifically focusing on the use of CMOS technology in their design. Participants seek recommendations for books and materials that cover these topics in depth.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant requests book recommendations for learning about SMPS and LDO regulators using CMOS technology.
- Another participant suggests a specific book on SMPS and provides links to various resources related to LDO regulators.
- A participant acknowledges having read the suggested SMPS book but notes it does not cover CMOS applications.
- There is a clarification sought regarding the request for books specifically about designing CMOS-based SMPS controllers.
- A participant expresses a desire for resources similar to a specific paper on integrated power stages for CMOS SMPS design.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the availability of resources specifically addressing CMOS in SMPS design, with some expressing uncertainty about the existing literature.
Contextual Notes
