Switch-mode Power Supplies 〈DELUXE FIX〉

Different circuit configurations, or topologies, are used based on the desired output:

A "chopper" (switching transistor) converts the DC voltage into a high-frequency pulse train.

Typically power MOSFETs or BJTs that perform the rapid switching.

The primary function of an SMPS is to transfer power from a source (AC or DC) to a load while regulating voltage and current. The process generally follows these steps:
