How to Design MOSFET Power Amplifier Circuits – Parameters Explained
In this post I have explained various parameters that must be considered while designing a MOSFET power amplifier circuit. We also analyze the difference between bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and MOSFET characteristics and understand why MOSFETS are more suitable and efficient for power amplifier applications. Contributed by Daniel Schultz Overview When designing a power amplifier […]
How Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) Circuits Work
SMPS is the acronym of the word Switch Mode Power Supply. The name clearly suggests that the concept has something or entirely to do with pulses or switching of the employed devices. I have explained how SMPS adapters work for converting mains voltage to a lower DC voltage. Advantage of SMPS Topology In SMPS adapters […]
What’s Ripple Current in Power Supplies
In this post I have explained regarding what’s ripple current in power supply circuits, what causes it and how it can be reduced or eliminated using smoothing capacitor. What’s Ripple in Power Supply Circuits In all AC to DC power supplies the DC output is acquired by rectifying the AC input power and filtering through […]
