Switched-Mode Power Supplies
David:
Hi all,
I have managed to bag my first ever electronics engineer interview next week ;D and one of the areas that came up in the job role was switched-mode power supplies. I understand the basic principles but have never had any direct involvement with the design of such devices. I am sure I will know a lot more by the time of the interview (in case it comes up) but has anyone got any useful tips/information on the subject?

Funny that, I was just contemplating doing a very quick blog on switched mode power supplies and how they differ (not so much) from linear supplies, as a filler unti lI get my butt into gear and finish the meter shootout.
Doesn't mean I will, but it's on the tip of my tongue...

David:
That would be great if you did! Pretty please? ;) As far as I am aware the main disadvantage of linear supplies is the loses caused through dissipation of the excess power.

Dave,
If you do this blog I would like to see some information regarding the feedback loops and stability issues with some switchers due to phase and gain responses of these loops.
Maybe a bit much for a basic switcher blog but just and idea.
Thanks
David:
Anything on power factor correction would also be appreciated!
