A switch-mode power supply (SMPS) switches been fully-on and fully-off states quickly to maintain voltage regulation. They offer lower power dissipation and run cooler than linear regulators that continually dissipate power through a transistor.

buck/boost converters currents

I have seen that the buck and the boost converters have capacitors in them and a switching circuit that switches the circuit on/off. I want to ask whether the buck and boost converters increase the cu …

Switching supply component selection

I am making a charger using a switching power supply. Output is 5A at 5VDC. Input is 220V AC which is converted into DC voltage using diodes and then converted to 5V by the transformer and switching c …

STM32 based boost converter noise on Rfb

As stated by @John D in this comment, Using a veroboard to breadboard power electronics circuits is not going to give you the best results. A good PCB layout is the best way to go. Other than that, w …

Duty Cycle and Filtering in Switching Power Supplies

I have a few confusions to clear up. The first one is about the switching power supply. Does the power supply simply work on the bases of the duty cycle? Like If I have a pulsating signal of 50% duty …

Suggestion on core calculation with air gaps

The flyback converter basically works on pulsating DC voltage therefore there is a risk of core saturation. For this purpose there is an air gap introduced so that the core is not saturated. This will …

Suggestion on core calculation with air gaps

I was working with the SMPS transformers and found a transformer that had a small air gap already there and was used in charging system of a battery. I wanted the ferrite core for my own transformer b …

UCC3895 based power supply Confusion

No, the UCC3895 doesn't have an internal reference voltage set. The UCC3895 uses the TL431 for the generation of the reference as it has an internal comparator that tries to maintain the voltage at th …
