Switching DC Power Supplies
Switching DC Power Supplies
(POWER ELECTRONICS)
Introduction
Like a linear power supply, the SMPS too converts
unregulated ac or dc input voltage to a regulated dc output voltage The input voltage is first rectified and filtered using a capacitor at the rectifier output unregulated dc voltage across the capacitor is then fed to a high frequency dc-to-dc converter The high frequency transformer used in a SMPS
Disadvantages of LPS
The output fluctuates with input which is not desirable Isolation is not possible
Efficiency is very low
In most applications, several dc voltages are required, possibly electrically isolated from each other
Transformer Analysis
Flyback Converter
Forward Converter
Derived from Buck; idealized to assume that the transformer is ideal (not possible in practice)
Half-Bridge Converter
Derived from Buck converter
Full-Bridge Converter
Used at higher power levels (> 0.5 kW )
Input Filter
Needed to comply with the EMI and harmonic limits
Conclusion
One of the most important applications of power electronics is SMPS
High efficiency and small weight and size In SMPS multiple outputs are possible Losses is minimum and only switching losses are present Current rating is medium The high frequency transformer used in a SMPS
