Both switching and linear regulators in power supplies carry out the identical task of producing a regulated output voltage from an uncontrolled input voltage. However, they carry out this duty using ...

Simply put, designing a power supply is a major undertaking. After making your build vs. buy decision, you face a myriad of circuit choices—more than you probably realize. Building a power supply used ...

In today’s day and age the most often used topology for electronic power supplies is that of the Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS), which is a major user of magnetics. In some applications the & “older ...

The most common type of power supply today is the switching supply. These units use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to regulate output. Supplies today employ several different PWM circuit configurations.

Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...

When reaching for a power supply design it’s normal here in 2022 to reach for a switching design. They’re lightweight, very efficient, and often available off-the-shelf at reasonable prices. Their ...
