POWER SUPPLY MEASUREMENT TIPS-10 STAGES OF POWER SUPPLY DESIGN

title

   

Power supplies are the workhorses behind all eletronics and electrical equipment. They come in numerous varieties to fit the gamut of systems they power. The race towards smaller, greener and cheaper power supply designs is more intense than ever. Higher efficiencies, higher power densities, time to market, standard requirements and cost reduction are impacting designs and designers alike.

Designing a power supply is a complex process with numerous steps. With this guide, we will follow a simple work flow and provide testing tips at each of 10 design stages. Hopefully you will find a few that will make your testing more effective and your life a little easier.
