Answer to Question: ENEL372 Power And Analogue Electronics
Introduction
A switched-mode power supply is an electrically based power supply.
It includes a switching regulator that converts electricity accurately.
The regulator includes an LC Circuit, which maintains the desired output voltage through charging and discharging of the capacitor and inductor.
The switching mode power supplies transfers power from an AC Source to a DC Source.
The inductor’s current pulse is charged which, in turn, provides a stable output capacitor.
If the DC pulse turns off, the Schottky-diode discharges the inductor into a storage capacitor.
The regulator can be used to replace the Linear Regulator as it has switched mode power and higher stability.
Due to the high operating frequency, smaller transformers are used.
Variation in the load causes the voltage to change.
The feedback circuit measures the output voltage and is compared to the reference voltage.
The Feedback circuit will need power to run before it generates power.
A Non-Switching Energy-Supply is also available by default.
The Switch Mode Voltage Regulator has the objective to produce a controlled and constant output voltage for the circuit.
It is more efficient in terms of controlled output, which provides stability and safety against strong rushes and drops down to the desired voltage.
Theory of switching mode voltage regulator
Linear Voltage Regulator does not regulate PSUs. This is because there is an AC ripple, which is superimposed on DC components.
Electronic Noise can be heard at the Output terminals because of this.
Due to its switching frequency, the Switching mode Power Supply is noisy.
The Duty Cycle is used to control the output of Switching Mode Votage Regulator. This allows transistors within it to be switched ON completely or off.
It contains power transistors.
Asynchronous rectification mode allows for more stability and precision when the input voltage exceeds a certain level.
The formula to calculate output voltage is “Switch Mod Power Supply basics and Switching Regulators”, 2017.
Types of switchable regulators
Different aspects of the switched mode voltage Regulator are classified, including functions used and input power source.
There are two types of classified DC/DC Converters, depending on the type input power supply.
These converters include both isolated and non-isolated versions.
Pulse Width Modulations (PWM) or Pulse Frequency Modulations (PFM), are two types of operations found in Switching Mode voltage regulator.
There are three main types of conversions in Switching Mode Votage Regulator: Inverting, Boost and Buck.
Buck Converter, also known to be a step-down converter drops the voltage between its supply (input) and Load (output).
Boost Converter can be described as a step-up convertor that increases the voltage.
It is equivalent to a flyback conversion (“Types of Switching Regulators”, 2017).
