This document discusses switched mode power supplies (SMPS). It defines an SMPS as an electrical power supply that incorporates a switching regulator to efficiently convert power from a source to a load. The document outlines the key advantages of SMPS over linear power supplies such as lower weight, smaller size, and higher efficiency. It provides a block diagram of the main components of an SMPS and describes their functions. Examples of common SMPS topologies and their applications in devices like computers, phones, and industrial equipment are also discussed.

3. Power Supply:-
Any device that supplies electric
power to an electric load.
The different types of power
supplies include:
-Battery
-DC power supply
-AC power supply
-Linear regulated power supply
-Switched mode power supply
-Programmable power supply
-Uninterruptible power supply

4. Switched Mode Power Supply:
 An electrical power supply that incorporates a switching
regulator to convert electrical power efficiently.
 It transfers power from a source, to a load, while
converting voltage and current characteristics.
 Voltage regulation is achieved by varying the ratio of on-
to-off time.

5. Advantages of SMPS over Linear Power Supplies:
• 1. Lower weight
• 2. Smaller size
• 3. Higher efficiency
• 4. Lower power dissipation
• 5. Wide ac input voltage range
• 6. Reduced costs
Disadvantages of SMPS:
1. Complexity of the circuit

6. Block diagram of a SMPS
1. Input rectifier stage:
It is used to convert an ac input to dc. A SMPS with dc
input does not require this stage. The rectifier
produces unregulated dc which is then passed through
the filter circuit.

7. • 2. Inverter stage:
– The inverter stage converts DC, whether directly from the input
or from the rectifier stage described above, to AC by running it
through a power oscillator, whose output transformer is very
small with few windings at a frequency of tens or hundreds
of kilohertz.
3. Output transformer:
- If the output required is to be isolated from input, the inverted
AC is used to draw the primary windings of a high frequency
transformer. This converts the voltage up or down to the
required output level on it’s secondary winding.
4. Output rectifier:
- If the dc output is required, the ac output from the transformer is
rectified.
5. Regulation:
- Feedback circuit monitors the output voltage and compares it
with the reference voltage.

8. Factors to be considered while selecting a topology
for a particular application:-
• 1. Is input-to-output dielectric isolation required for the application?
• 2. Are multiple outputs required?
• 3. Does the prospective topology place a reasonable voltage stress
across the voltage semiconductors?
• 4. Does the prospective topology place a reasonable current stress
across the voltage semiconductors?
• 5. How much of the input voltage is placed across the primary
transformer winding or inductor?
• Typical maximum output power available from each topology:
Converter Topology Maximum output power
Flyback 200W
Forward 300W
Push-pull 500W
Half bridge 1000W
Full bridge >1000W

9. Use of non-isolated topologies:
• Non isolated topologies are the simplest, with the three basic types using a
single inductor for energy storage.

advantages, which makes it suitable to particular
applications.
