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 ...

How switch-mode power supplies changed the power-supply design space. The isolation factor in power supplies: galvanic isolation vs. non-isolated. Most common non-isolated topologies. This series ...

The industry drive toward smaller, lighter and more efficient electronics has led to the development of the Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS). There are several topologies commonly used to implement ...

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 ...
