Designing Efficient SMPS: Key Considerations and Best Practices

A Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) has become the power solution of preference due to its efficiency, compact size, and reliability. In industrial automation, telecommunication, and consumer electronics, power solutions based on SMPS provide stable voltage regulation with low energy loss. Creating an efficient SMPS power system requires appropriate planning, component selection, and adherence to best practices to deliver maximum performance and lifespan. In this blog, we will examine the key considerations and best practices in designing a reliable switch mode power supply, focusing on medium-frequency power switching to deliver better efficiency. Understanding SMPS and Its Importance A Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is highly efficient in power conversion by switching the components on and off at high frequency, minimizing power loss. Unlike linear power supplies where surplus energ...
