SMPS Power Supply Components
SMPS power supplies are used in a wide variety of electronic devices, including computers, smartphones, TVs, and other appliances. They are more efficient and compact than traditional linear power supplies.
Here is a summary of the functions of each component in a switched-mode power supply:
- Rectifier: Converts AC input voltage to DC voltage.
- Filter: Smooths out the DC output voltage from the rectifier.
- Inverter: Converts the DC output voltage from the filter to a high-frequency AC voltage.
- Transformer: Steps up or down the voltage of the high-frequency AC voltage from the inverter.
- Rectifier: Converts the high-frequency AC voltage from the transformer back to DC voltage.
- Filter: Smooths out the DC output voltage from the rectifier.
- Controller: Controls the operation of the inverter and other components in the SMPS.
- Snubber circuit: Helps to reduce EMI from the SMPS.
- Clamp circuit: Helps to protect the components in the SMPS from overvoltage.
- Fan: Cools the components in the SMPS.
- Heat sink: Dissipates heat from the components in the SMPS.
