AC/DC SMPS Basics Course – Part 1: Why Use Switch-Mode Power Supplies?
Welcome to the first part of our AC/DC Switch-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) basics course! In this video, we explore the fundamentals of SMPS, including:
► Why switch-mode power supplies are preferred over traditional linear regulators
► The key benefits of SMPS in modern electronics
► An overview of the most common SMPS topologies
► How NXP Semiconductors supports these designs with industry-leading components
Whether you're a beginner or brushing up on your power electronics knowledge, this video lays the groundwork for understanding efficient power conversion from mains input to regulated output.
What You’ll Learn:
► The limitations of traditional power conversion methods
► Introduction to flyback, buck, boost, and other SMPS topologies
► Real-world applications and design considerations
► NXP’s role in enabling reliable and efficient SMPS designs
