3. What is SMPS ?
• A switch mode power supply is
a power converter
• It utilizes switching devices such as MOSFETs
that continuously turn on and off at high
frequency
• Energy storage devices such as the capacitors
and inductors are used to supply power during
the non-conduction state of switching device
5. SMPS Classification:
o AC to DC – Off-line DC power supply
o DC to DC – Converter
o DC to AC – inverter
o AC to AC – Cyclo-converter of frequency

8. Transistor Switch ‘ON’ Period
when the switching transistor is switched on, it is
supplying the load with current.
Initially current flow to the load is restricted as energy
is also being stored in L1
therefore the current in the load and the charge on C1
builds up gradually during the ‘on’ period.
9. Transistor Switch ‘OFF’ Period
•When the transistor switches off ,the energy stored in the
magnetic field around L1 is released back into the circuit.
•The voltage across the inductor (the back emf) is now in
reverse polarity to the voltage across L1 during the ‘on’ period
•sufficient stored energy is available in the collapsing magnetic
field to keep current flowing for at least part of the time the
transistor switch is open.

10. Buck Converter for Negative Supplies
•For negative supplies, a change around in the positions of L1
and D1
•reversing the polarity of C compared to the transistor off stage
•This variation of the basic buck converter now inverts the
positive DC input to produce a negative supply in the range of
0V to −VIN.
