ABSTARCT:
This talk does not discuss the design of power supplies, as this is well known. It will provide a bird’s eye view of design considerations which are important in specifying power supplies for consumer products. It covers topics such as dynamic loads, feedback loop stability, thermal considerations, safety aspects, layout issues, EMI/EMC issues. Focus is on constraints that power supplies require for the consumer market.
