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?” ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

GaN switches promise higher efficiency and higher power density in SMPS. This article discusses the readiness of this ...
