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 ...

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.

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.

Learn about the design considerations and EMI sources in power converters and minimize EMI problems for power conversion.

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

In this chapter, the different CAD programs are described to analyze the time-domain and frequency-domain behavior of the switched-mode high-efficiency ... 75-GHz HBT MMIC power amplifier that uses ...

Offering sound working knowledge of the latest in topologies and step-by-step approaches to component decisions, this handbook gives power supply designers solutions-oriented design guidance, free of ...

This course introduces the basic concepts of switched-mode converter circuits for controlling and converting electrical power with high efficiency. Principles of converter circuit analysis are ...

Master techniques of design-oriented analysis for switched-mode power converters Verify the design of closed-loop regulated power converters using switching and averaged circuit simulations Design ...

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?” ...
