What is switching converter and switching power supply?
With the development and innovation of power electronics technology, the switching power supply technology is also constantly innovating, and this cost reversal point is moving toward the low output power end, which provides a broad space for the switching power supply
Switching power supply is the use of modern power electronics technology to control the switch on and off the time ratio, to maintain a stable output voltage of a power supply, switching power supply generally by the pulse width modulation (PWM) control IC and MOSFET composition. Switching power and linear power compared to the cost of both the output power increases with the growth, but the growth rate of the two different. Linear power costs at an output power point, but higher than the switching power supply, which is called the cost of reversal point.
Switching converter is a core component of modern energy conversion technology. It is also a basic component of all kinds of switching power supply, inverter, UPS, photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation and LED lighting. It is widely used in electric power, communication, home appliances, railway transportation , Automotive electronics, industrial control, instrumentation, aviation, aerospace, navigation and other fields.
