SwitchedMode
Switchedmode, in electronics, refers to techniques that regulate power by rapidly turning a regulator element on and off. The term is most commonly associated with switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), which use high-frequency switching to convert input power into a desired output with high efficiency.
In a switched-mode regulator, a switch (typically a transistor) alternates between conducting and nonconducting states. Energy
Common topologies include buck (step-down), boost (step-up), and buck-boost converters, as well as isolated designs such
Switched-mode regulators are typically more efficient and compact than linear regulators, and they adapt to wide
SMPS are ubiquitous in consumer electronics, computers, telecom equipment, industrial power supplies, and LED lighting. Advances
