Switch mode power supplies aren’t new ideas, either, and surprisingly pre-date the first commercially-available transistor although modern ones like these are much less expensive to build.

A typical example of a switch-mode power supply is that based on the LM2671 or LM2674. The components for it are available for outputs of 3.3 V, 5 V and 12 V. There is also a version providing a ...

Switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) are undoubtedly good for powering IoT devices, but most of them are bulky and expensive. Fortunately, compact SMPS modules are available at an affordable price ...

Ideally switch-mode power supplies would behave like mathematical models. But since they don’t you need to perform thorough characterization and troubleshooting. Fortunately, modern ...

The advantages of a switch-mode power supply (SMPS) are just too great to ignore. Efficiency is the primary benefit, with efficiencies over 90% for many designs.
