Defination:-D.C. to D.C. converters and D.C. to A.C. Converters belong to

the category of Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS). The various types of voltage regulators, used in Linear Power Supplies (LPS), fall in the category of dissipative regulator, as they have a voltage control element usually transistor or zener diode which dissipates power equal to the voltage difference between an unregulated input voltage and a fixed supply voltage multiplied by the current flowing through it. A.C TO D.C Converter:- Here, the primary power received from AC main is rectified and filtered as high voltage DC. It is then switched at a huge rate of speed approximately 15 kHz 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 reliving the size and weight problems. The output at the secondary side of the transformer is 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 to control the output voltage. SMPS rely on PWM to control the average value of the output voltage. The average value of the repetitive pulse waveform depends on the area under the waveform. As load increases, output voltage tends to fall. Most switching power supplies regulate their output using the method called Pulse – Width Modulation (PWM). The power switch which feeds the primary of the step-down transformer is driven by the PWM oscillator. When the duty cycle is at 50%, then the maximum amount of energy will be passed through the step-down transformer. The Pulse Width signal given to the switch is inversely proportional to the output voltage. Read More About :- Types of Smps
