Switched mode PS2 power supply failure

You destroyed it with overvoltage by plugging a 100VAC device into 220VAC mains. The main bulk capacitor is rated for 220VDC which is good for rectified 100VAC being about 140VDC, but rectified 220VAC ...

Fundamental question regarding the working of a PWM voltage mode controller in SMPS

My doubt was what happens once the output is 10V and the error is zero? It won't happen; the error won't be zero because it needs to be finite to drive the right level of PWM. It's exactly the same ...

Forced CCM Buck Operation

Modern buck converters switch to DCM at low load currents for better efficiency. The trade-off is higher ripple due to DCM. With an extremely sensitive digital circuit like an FPGA being powered, that ...

Diagnosing possible SMPS feedback loop failure

Granted yes, I changed the same four caps as mentioned above (One- 400V 120uF, three - 35V 1000uF), but I found the two 50V 10uF caps (green electrolytic caps) were my issue with the other four. The ...
