Dean Venable is well known within the power electronics communities for his contributions to practical measurement methods of the small-signal properties of power processing circuits and systems. This site contains very useful information on these topics, including computer automation approaches to such measurements. Another "don't miss" site if you are interested in test methods for control systems.
For those of you interested in visiting web sites that contain a wealth of information about power magnetics design and materials, the Magnetics Inc., MicroMetals Inc., Ceramic Magnetics Inc.& Arnold Engineering Company sites should not be missed! All four of these USA companies are premier magnetics materials manufacturers, whose core products are used in power conversion systems worldwide. These sites contain extensive bibliographies of technical literature on major magnetic materials, as well as lists of related technical resources and literature which can be downloaded from these sites during your visit.
The PowerDesign365 web site is sponsored by Electronic Design magazine. For more than 50 years, Electronic Design has provided design engineers and engineering managers with the key technology design, product, and professional information they need most to meet their competitive challenges. Their editorial team of veteran engineers and technical specialists are known throughout the industry for being plugged in to the trends that define the coming wave of electronic design. Power Design365 continues this tradition by providing design engineers with a focused resource on one of today’s most challenging design issues: power and power management. The site has combined the full editorial resources of the Penton Electronics Group of publications, including Electronic Design, EE Product News, Wireless Systems Design¸ and Microwaves & RF to bring hundreds of design articles and new product coverage specifically focused on power. Throughout any given year, their editors bring the power electronics design engineer dozens of new articles each month along with educational – not product driven – webcasts on specific power design issues and critical topics.
