Problems solved by technology

However, the achievable efficiency of switch-mode power supplies is limited by long downtimes
[0004] Advantageously, switched-mode power supplies have a large tolerance range with respect to the power supply at the input and the load connected at the output, however, only very limited efficiencies are usually achieved at lower input voltages and smaller loads

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of power supply technology, in particular to switch mode power supply technology. Background technique [0002] A switched-mode power supply is an electronic component that is used for current conversion and voltage conversion, and is widely used, for example, as a computer power supply or a memory power supply. However, switch-mode power supplies are used in many other areas as well. In particular, an unstable input voltage is used to generate a stable output voltage or output current through a switch-mode power supply. In this case, stabilization of the output value is achieved by means of an automatic regulation circuit by controlling the energy flux in the switched-mode power supply. Typically, this adjustment takes place via a time-controllable switch, which is designed as a transistor, for example. [0003] Switched-mode power supplies achieve significantly higher efficiencies than conventio...
