SMPS is the abbreviation of switching mode power supply, a kind of high-frequency power conversion device and a power supply device. Its function is to convert a level of voltage to the voltage or ...

The common type of power supply used with computers and other electronic equipment. The "switching" comes from switching a transistor on and off to create square waves for input to a transformer. For ...

How switch-mode power supplies changed the power-supply design space. The isolation factor in power supplies: galvanic isolation vs. non-isolated. Most common non-isolated topologies. This series ...

Switching power supplies, operating directly from input power lines, are generally required to have their outputs galvanically isolated from the input, in order to reduce the danger of electrical ...

Now we turn our attention to a real power supply to see for ourselves where all the buzz is really coming from. First consider what would happen if the input bulk capacitor of the power supply had ...
