In a monolithic design, the NCP101X merges a power MOSFET for high voltages with a current-control mode to create a low-cost, low-standby-absorption SMPS power supply. In fact, the NCP101X series of ...

[Hesam Moshiri] has built a variable switch-mode power supply over on hackaday.io. When prototyping a new circuit, often the goal is to get a proof-of-concept working as soon as possible to iron out ...

Modern personal computers (PC) use well designed, rich capacity and reliable switch mode power supplies (SMPS), which ought to be ideal for regular use in electronics hobby labs as dependable ...

In the second part of this two-part article, the authors describe how to determine the efficiency losses associated with passive components and how features offered by controller ICs can be used to ...

Today's IGBTs are efficient and simply cost less. They're displacing MOSFETs in many SMPS applications up to and sometimes exceeding 200 kHz. Let's look at some of the application-related differences ...
