switchingconverter
A switching converter, also known as a switch-mode power supply (SMPS), is an electronic circuit that converts electrical energy from one form to another efficiently through the use of switching devices such as transistors, MOSFETs, or IGBTs. Unlike traditional linear regulators, which dissipate excess energy as heat, switching converters achieve higher efficiency by rapidly switching the energy flow on and off, storing energy temporarily in reactive elements like inductors and capacitors.
Switching converters are widely used in applications requiring power regulation with minimal heat dissipation, including computers,
The fundamental operation of a switching converter involves a switching element that alternates between conducting and
