In addition, the device incorporates auto-restart, line under-voltage sense, and frequency jittering. The start-up and operating power is derived directly from the voltage on the drain (pin 5), eliminating the need for a bias winding and associated circuitry. This device has a 700V power MOSFET, an oscillator, a high-voltage switched current source, a current limiting and thermal shutdown circuitry integrated onto a monolithic device. The SMPS here has been designed using a TNY266 chip, which is affectionately called the ‘555’ of SMPS. The circuit is built around a low-power offline switcher TNY266 (IC1), photo-transistor photo-coupler EL817 (IC2), a flyback transformer (X1) and some other easily-available components.

2 shows the circuit of a simple 1A, 12V SMPS. Besides, an iron-core transformer works only up to about 10 kHz, and if we need something in 50-100kHz range, we need a ferrite core.įig. This is because, if the frequency of operation is increased, one can get away with using a smaller core cross-sectional area. For a given output power, an SMPS is lighter and smaller. 1: Author’s prototype of the 12V SMPSĪ switched mode power supply (SMPS) offers the same end results at a lower cost and higher efficiency. Presented here is a 1A, 12V SMPS that can help. The low-voltage AC output from the transformer is then rectified by two or four diodes and smoothed into low-voltage DC by large electrolytic capacitors. These power supplies have a bulky steel- or iron-laminated transformer that provides a safety barrier for the low-voltage output from the AC input, and reduces the input from typically 230V AC to a much lower voltage. The most popular and common supply is a 12V DC supply that can be easily derived from the household AC supply with transformation, rectification, filtering and stabilisation.

Most electronics enthusiasts require DC power supplies to operate various devices and accessories.
