Switching Power Supplies
Description:
This learning module is provided by Work-Ready Electronics and covers switching power supplies. Work-Ready Electronics modules are intended to be used either independently or integrated with current electronics curricula in college programs. This module is divided into three sections: Content, Knowledge Probes, and Learning Activities.
Contents:
The Content section includes four PDF documents that cover the following topics: switching power supplies; advantages, disadvantages, and troubleshooting; DC-DC converters: charge pumps, forward converters, and flyback converters; and inverters, UPS, and the hysteresis curve.
Four Knowledge Probes are included in this learning module. The Knowledge Probes include learning objectives and a short quiz. Each Knowledge Probe corresponds to a topic covered in the Content section.
The Learning Activities section includes a Disassembly and Analysis of Switching Power Supplies drill-down report, an Internet Research on Switching Power Supplies drill-down report, a DC-DC Converters lab activity, and a Switching Power Supplies interactive simulation. Two files related to the interactive simulation are also included.
The learning module also includes a 1-page book reference document.
For orientation purposes the SMPS Basics and Switching Regulators.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this collection.
Below is a list of the files contained within the .zip attachment. The size of each file is included in parenthesis.
