While he was fortunate enough that someone labeled it as having a bad power supply, things aren’t always that easy. He gives a broad explanation as to how switched mode power supplies work as ...

Switching power supplies are also called switch-mode products or switching mode power supplies (SMPSs). Compared to linear power supplies, switching power supplies offer greater efficiencies and are ...

Abstract: Power-electronics engineers designing switched mode power supplies (SMPS) are faced with the challenges of limited space, the need to meet worldwide energy regulations, and ease of design.

The series will explore various topologies of Switched Mode Power Supplies. In this first part, the focus is on general voltage converter circuits, including AC to AC and AC to DC converters.

Even below 100 V, its high power density and fast switching capability provide benefits like higher power-conversion efficiency in various power-supply designs.

Computer power supplies are designed specifically to power computers and their peripherals. They convert alternating current (AC) to low-voltage regulated direct current (DC) power necessary to run ...

Hightech Innovation Center in Munich-Freiham. The company specialises in transformers for switch-mode power supplies and customised inductive components and is part of the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group ...

On the other hand, this was a great introduction to switch-mode power supply designs, and what not to do with our own builds. Continue reading “Just How Dodgy Are Cheap USB Chargers Anyway?” ...
