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
