Abstract— Switch-mode power supply plays an important, but hidden, role in personal computer and consumer electronics revolution. In this presentation, how the play is performed is examined by reviewing converter topologies, operating modes, control techniques, close-loop DC regulation, close-loop AC study, and simulation issues.
The seminar is not intended as an in-depth discussion of the subject. Rather, it is an invitation for those who see in it a potentially rewarding career
