Switched Mode Power Supply: (S.M.P.S)

This document summarizes switched mode power supplies (SMPS). It begins by stating that there are two categories of power supplies: linear regulated and SMPS. It then provides details on how SMPS works, including that it converts AC or DC input to regulated DC output with negligible ripple using a closed loop system. It includes a block diagram and descriptions of the components. It compares SMPS to linear supplies, noting SMPS has higher efficiency and smaller size. Popular SMPS circuit topologies and applications are also listed.

Switched Mode Power

Supply
(S.M.P.S)

There are two broad categories of power
supplies:-

 Linear Regulated Power Supply.

 Switched Mode Power Supply.


Switched mode power supply:-

 Converts the available unregulated a.c or d.c input


voltage to a regulated d.c output voltage.

 It contains negligible a.c ripples.

 Having higher efficiency.


Working of S.M.P.S:-

SMPS is basically a circuit that operates in a


closed loop system to regulate the power supply
output. The AC line voltage is rectified and filtered
using a line frequency isolation transformer. An
optocoupler and voltage reference combination
gives feedback for control purposes. Power
converters may be isolated or non-isolated types.
Most small SMPSs use BJTs or MOSFETs.
Block diagram of S.M.P.S:-
Block diagram description:-
The primary power received from a.c mains is rectified
and filtered as high voltage d.c. It is then switched at a
high rate of speed approximately 15 to 50 kHz and fed
to the primary side of the step down transformer. The
step down transformer is only a fraction of the size of a
comparable 50 Hz unit thus relieving the size and
weight problems. The output at the secondary side of
the transformer is again rectified and filtered . Then it
is sent to the output of the power supply. A sample of
this output is sent back to the switch as feedback
which further controls the output voltage. This is how a
switched mode power supply works.
Comparison between S.M.P.S & Linear
power supply:-
 Efficiency-65 %to 75%.  Efficiency-20% to 50%.
 Temperature rise-20 to 40˚c.  Temperature rise -0 to 100 ˚c.
 Ripple value-Even 5 mV possible.
 Ripple value higher -25 to 50 mV.
 R.F interference-Can be problem  R.F interference-None.
unless properly shielded.
 Reliability -Depends upon  Reliability -More reliable.
availability of suitable transistors.
 Transient response-Slower (in  Transient response-Faster(in µs).
ms).
 Magnetic material-Uses ferrite
 Magnetic material-Uses stalloy or
core. CRGO core.
 Complexity-Less
 Complexity-More.

S.M.P.S Linear Power Supply


Advantages of S.M.P.S:-
 Efficiency is high because of less heat dissipation.

 Small transformer size makes it a compact unit.

 Protection against excessive output voltage by quick acting


guard circuit.

 Reduced harmonics feedback into the supply main.

 Isolation from main supply without the need of large main


transformer.

 Generation of low and medium voltage supplies are easy.


Types:-

There are several different topologies for the


switched mode power supply circuits. Some
popular ones are:
 1.Fly-back,
 2.Forward,
 3. Push-pull,
 4. C’uk,
 5. Sepic,
 6.Half bridge and
 7. H-bridge circuits.
