Switchmode Power Supply
A switchmode regulated power supply regulates the output voltage by the
use of a complex high frequency switching technique. A switchmode power supply has moderately
good load and line regulation, but significantly higher ripple and output
noise than linear regulated power supplies. A switchmode power supply also has a slow transient
response, but high efficiency.
Typical applications for a switchmode power supply
- general purpose use
- high power
- small size & light weight
- long hold-up time
- high efficiency
- Power Factor Correction
- wide input range
- digital circuits
