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 ...

Power supply design has traditionally placed a high priority on energy efficiency. The system and the end user will pay more if the power supply is inefficient and has non-negligible power losses. Let ...

Simply put, designing a power supply is a major undertaking. After making your build vs. buy decision, you face a myriad of circuit choices—more than you probably realize. Building a power supply used ...

Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) continue to replace linear-regulator types in a host of applications. As the need for more efficient electronics accelerates and as a result of their size, weight, ...

The most common type of power supply today is the switching supply. These units use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to regulate output. Supplies today employ several different PWM circuit configurations.

Bill Traue, CSRE, 8-VSB, AMD is principal of Bill Traue Technical Services. He acknowledges that when it comes to fixing dead switched-mode power supplies, the small wall-wart or line-lump type aren’t ...

Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...

When first starting an electronics project, it’s not uncommon to dive right in to getting the core parts of the project working. Breadboarding the project usually involves working with a benchtop ...

The Rhino line now includes ac/dc switch-mode power supplies encapsulated in an ultracompact, low profile housing. The new PSE Series is for space-limited applications and screw mounts to a panel or ...

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched "TPH2R70AR5," a 100V N-channel power MOSFET fabricated with U-MOS11-H, Toshiba's latest-generation process([1]) . The MOSFET ...
