SMPS

A switched-mode power supply (SMPS) is an electronic circuit that converts power using  switching devices that are turned on and off at high frequencies, and storage components  such as instructors or capacitors to supply power when the switching device is in its non- conduction state.

Switching power supplies have high efficiency and are widely used in a variety of  electronic equipment, including computers and other sensitive equipment requiring stable  and efficient power supply.A switched-mode power supply is also known as a switch-mode power supply or switching- mode power supply.

Advantages :

￭  Higher efficiency of 68% to 90%

￭  Regulated and reliable outputs regardless of variations in input supply voltage

￭  Small size and lighter

￭  Flexible technology

￭  High power density

Disadvantages:

￭  Generates electromagnetic interference

￭  Complex circuit design

￭  Expensive compared to linear supplies

￭  Switched-mode power supplies are used to power a wide variety of equipment such as
computers, sensitive electronics, battery-operated devices and other equipment requiring
high efficiency.
