Switchmode techniques refer to a class of power supply designs that operate by rapidly switching a semiconductor switch, typically a transistor, between an ON and OFF state. This switching action is controlled by a feedback loop that regulates the output voltage or current. Unlike linear regulators which dissipate excess energy as heat, switchmode power supplies store energy in magnetic or electric components and then release it in controlled bursts. This energy storage and controlled release mechanism allows for significantly higher efficiency, often exceeding 80-90%, compared to linear regulators which can be as low as 30-50%.
The core principle involves converting a DC input voltage into a high-frequency AC waveform through the switching
Switchmode techniques are widely employed in modern electronics due to their compact size, light weight, and
