Something is strange here. At time 8:30 in the video its showing 2, 560uf @ 200V. After the bridge the DC voltage will be way higher than the input of 230vac, so how can those caps be so underrated?
All his videos are filled with errors. For example, in this video he says that after the bridge rectifier is still AC. It is pulsating DC! Which is a very ugly mistake for someone that called himself "Electronics Engineer" on his webpage.
I've been in the business for quite a while and can honestly say this is a very well presented explanation. Not too technical but accurate enough and to the point. I'd have no hesitation recommending your material to anyone that wanted to learn. Well done
This is my third video today on switch mode power supplies. It was most informative. As an English (American) speaker, I had no problem with the verbal instruction, I understood you very well. As a student, I deeply appreciated the waveform transformations across sections. Of the power supply. A lot of repair videos assume the viewer is familiar with how a SMPS works; I was not (and wondering for years): you explained it very well. You focused on the main components without getting distracted by how individual capacitors, zener diodes, and resistors could affect performance. If I were to repair an item, I would need that information, but BEFORE I need to make the repair, I need the information you present. Thank you very much.
And he didn't explained it well. He assumed that the SMPS works with the same principle as a linear power supply. Most things he said right but there are a lot of mistakes he said. For example: After a bridge rectifier he says that it is still AC and the capacitor is responsible to transform it into DC. This is a clear mistake that he doesn't know what he's saying. After a bridge rectifier you have pulsating DC. Also the induction on the transformer doesn't work the way he describes it. It is called a flyback transformer for a reason.
Dark Angel - Electronoobs is wrong here and you are right. The EMI/EMC filter is primarily for filtering out the conducted emissions *back* into the source supply.
Dark Angel - I’ve designed, built and tested satellites for over 15 years and have SMPS designs currently in orbit above Earth... so, yes? You are obviously well educated yourself because many EEs I’ve worked with would not be able to tell me what the input filter of a SMPS is primarily for 😉
Great video! Just a little thing I want to mention, at 15:34. The control circuit is on the low voltage side, but the power transistors are still on the high voltage side, so you need a way to controll them withouth loosing your insulation. That's the purpose of that smaller transformer. I'm pretty sure that it is used to control the power mosfets from the low voltage side. I asume that the main transformer have 4 pins on the left, two pins for the main HV winding, and two for an auxiliary winding, used to power up the control circuitry (and in some other desings, an auxiliary winding is used as a voltage feedback instead of using an optocoupler, as its voltage should be more or less, proportional to the output winding voltage). If you watch close, near the small transformer, there are two small transistors used to drive the primary side, and on the other side, there is a bunch of capacitors, resistors and diodes used to drive the gates of the power mosfets; those are needed to reduce the time they take to turn off, and therefore, to reduce the power loss. And two diodes to form a snubber network, to protect the transistors against reverse high voltage spikes, due to commutation. You can tell where is the division between high voltage and low voltage side, by looking at the bigger gap that separates the copper traces from one side to the other.
Well then you have a Problem. The video ist good but also very very Basic. I would recommend the TH-cam Channel Diode gone wild cause He also goes Info the math an Transformer Design, an some different Typs OS SMPS (flyback ....)
@@felixwurm1467 he doesn't have any problems. This is more electronics engineering than electrical engineering stuff. And even in Electronics engineering they won't give you these clear explanations as shown here. They will teach you what a buck and boost converters are at and advanced level but will not teach you what a SMPS is.
You are really a genius. I usually don't comment. But today I feel the need to leave 2 or three words. As I am watching, I am sitting with my 4n charger open trying to figure out why there are so much components. You nailed it.
At last, someone who has explained an SMPS in such detail that it's easy to understand. I thank you sir. A wonderful job. I have a couple of questions as a noob: 1) on the EMC filter, I thought coils (chokes) blocked A/C voltage? 2) Why is only a half bridge rectifier used on the second stage instead of a full bridge. Isn't there a loss in efficiency by throwing away the negative component? Many thanks again for your superb explanation.
The inductor used in the EMC filter is called a "common mode inductor" or "common mode choke" ("choke" is a rather old term for an inductor, but it is still used). A common mode choke is designed with two windings. The windings are arranged such that the low-frequency current in one winding is equal to and opposite in polarity to that in the other winding at any instant. The magnetic fields of the two windings cancel each other and there is very little inductance for that "differential mode" current. However, if there is high frequency noise that is the same ("in phase") on both of the windings, there is no cancellation and you get high inductance to this "common mode" noise. In the filter you use capacitors across the AC line connections on both sides of the inductor. This more or less makes a short circuit for high frequency noise between the two sides and makes sure the high frequency noise is common mode. In the circuit in the video there _is_ no AC at the output of the transformer. His description is simply wrong. This is almost certainly a forward converter so the voltage at the secondary side is unipolar pulses. The diode doesn't really act as a rectifier in the usual sense, but rather as a way of preventing the output filter components from discharging through the secondary winding of the transformer. If there really were symmetrical AC at the secondary you certainly would use a full wave rectifier. Half-bridge, full-bridge and push-pull converters do produce symmetrical true AC on the secondary and you do use full-wave rectification. Usually you use a centre tapped secondary so full-wave rectification requires only two diodes, but sometimes you use a simple untapped winding and a full-wave bridge rectifier. These types of converter are more complex but you make much better use of the transformer because of the true AC excitation and you can get nearly double the amount of power for the same size transformer. There is some chance that I am wrong and the circuit is actually a half-bridge converter, but I doubt it.
i was waiting for someone to explain why high frequency transformers are smaller but can handle the same power as the low fequency one with iron core thank you 💙💙
This channel is amazing and underrated. Somehow you manage to read my mind and teach me exactly the things I need and want to know. Please keep up the amazing content!
Thank you very much for this excellent video which allows, with average knowledge in electronics, to approach the SMPS without using abstruse terms like forward, buck, etc... (this terminology is obviously not to be denied but is not needed to understand how it works). Your course is very educational and icing on the cake, it is excellently illustrated with videos with ad hoc comments.
Best explanation of how switched mode power supplies work I have seen anywhere. Clear, concise and explained in terms that a layman can understand. Thank you, just what I had been looking for.
Great video bro, you spent much effort on this. You're better than my lecturers. Anyway, I think the DC output voltage of the output LC filter should be controllable by changing the pulse width of the signal. So, the DC output should change due to the change of duty cycle of the signal. You might mean it, but you misrepresented it in your video. Great job anyway bro 🔥
I'm sure you've seen this correction a million times, but it's *linear power supply, not lineal. Your English is excellent in general, and you're a great teacher!
sen ne güzel bir anlatımda bulunmuşun. çok güzel alkışlıyorum. Bu anlatım smps devrenin sırasıyla, özellikle de; ac ve dc sinyallari ile birlikte tam zamanlı anlık anlatmanız çok güzel olmuş.
Nice video and good explanations, however, some comments: Noise on the ac input voltage is not so important, since the ac will be rectified and charges up the primary high-voltage capacitors. At least as important is the filtering of noise which is generated within the power supply so that it is not emitted out onto the ac grid. Also the voltage on the high-voltage primary capacitors is not 240 Vdc but sqrt(2)*240 V or about 300 Vdc since the capacitors charge to more or less the peak voltage of the ac grid.
*Sir, please make the world's simplest but powerful SMPS and of course without any chips. We need to learn this. As often we need a power supply. You are a great teacher, Love you from India.*
I could cleared out my confusion on how potentio-opto-ic work together for attaining a constant output voltage . many thanks for well explanatory vid .
I'm 9 minutes in and you've just solved so many mysteries for me. I've read up on so much, so many tutorials out there are just plain SHIT. Talking about lemons powering LEDs to absolutely incomprehensible jargon laden nonsense. You just created here something so incredibly easy to follow and understand. Your breaking down of the sections in a PSU is so logical and well thought out. You must have been in the same position as myself at some stage in your journey to have created such an easy to follow video. Thank you so much! subscribed and liked.
So we filter out a lot 😂 1 - AC >> Fuse, EMC filter & main filter to smoothen high FQ noise. 2 - AC >> Full bridge rectifier to chop off negative side to become DC >> PWM controller & MOSFETs to boost frequency into transformer coils to be AC again. 3 - AC >> Half bridge Rectifier chop-off AC again into >> DC controlled with pwm signal & filter the noise again with low-value Cap to smooth out the output. 4 - DC >> Then optocoupler will send feedback back to high voltage part while remaining isolated, to keep the voltage steady.
The video is very detailed and have niche explanation of each block step by step... That's amazingly made and appreciate your peculiar points for the each block from application perspective
pretty good- the real pleasure is too look into a high performance telecom rectifier where multi phase intermediary transformers are used to achieve 90+ percent efficiencies!
Excellent, I am learning all the time and your explanation is aimed at just the right level for me. Gives me a stepping stone from which to learn more. Thank you.
Very well done! On the bigger PCB that little transformer is a Gate Drive Transformer, it used to have isolation from the main FETs in case they short (example, from gate to drain sending tail voltage straight into the gate drive network). However the transformer allows galvanic isolation between which allows the pwm controller and gate drive network to (generally) be preserved during a fault. Those transformers are generally gate drive only and those little transistors near it are for driving the GDT. Coilers use GDTs (same as I) for Tesla Coil gate drivers with dedicated gate drivers such as the UCC3722 or TC4420 gate drivers.
Excellent demonstration bro👍 I just want to ask... "What if i feed 230V DC instead of AC to a switch mode power supply? What will be the impact on circuit? Will it work or not? Or will it burn out?..." Please don't ask about WHY i wana do this.
A couple things… the 230AC input is obviously for Europe, but since you didn’t mention a PFC stage, then the power supply will typically have a 110/220 switch, which is not needed in a power supply with a PFC. The secondary stage (PWM} is powered by a DC voltage (typically 250-400VDC) which is the output of the PFC if it has one, and which is higher than the VAC RMS of the bridge rectifier (VIN x 1.414). The secondary pulse transformers operate at about 100khz and the output is usually rectified back to DC with a DIAC which powers the output load.
This Video was so helpful especially during this time of online learning where I'm unable to get any hands on experience with these stuff but your video really helped thank you!
Thank you for another anazing, informative video. On the topic of SMPS, it would be nice to see a tutorial on building the transformer for feed-back, feed-forward, push-pull. I remember that in university we've learnt the control of SMPS, but but the design.
Good job, once again a great video! Sometimes a power factor correction (pfc) is applied to avoid harmonics.This would certainly be an exciting topic for another video ;)
how was the control system designed with feedback to assure stable equilibrium i.e. in order to reach steady state ? , in the sense , after supplying (feedback) the driver circuit with the necessary voltage to start controlling the gate , what assured u with the confidence as to see no ripples in the output signal from the desired signal output from driver section ? and also if u can please explain transient analysis for choice of tolerances of parts on the "to be used components" while designing an SMPS it would be very kind of u
Nice video. I wish to learn how to filter and decrease the rf noise of smps from you. I am using smps for HAM RADIO because i can't afford high price, high power lineal power supply. Keep doing great job.
Thank you for this video! It will make more sense in time, as I get a better grasp of the components, and re-watch this video over time, but this is so appreciated to be able to have even a basic understanding now.
on a whole it was an extraordinary video , cuz it was useful at the right time , (based on viewer situation) , it helped me a lot , very informative. looking forward to seeing more videos in electrical involving control systems techniques of circuit designing.
Great video! I'm new here and I've seen all the Great Scott, ElectroBoom, Andreas Spiess, ect and I think you're one of the greats just like them and I'm going to get all caught up, sorry I've been sleeping on you.
The EMC filter also protects the grid side from noise generated by the high frequency curent choppers inside the SMPS. Also important: The large toroidal inductor after the low voltage rectifier allows output voltage control with PWM. Otherwise, voltage control becomes quasi-impossible despite PWM.
Magnifico vídeo explicativo!!!... la info gráfica del las distintas etapas, funcionamiento y el recorrido de cómo actúa es didácticamente perfecto!!!... menudo trabajo!!!... gracias por compartir conocimientos
At 7.55 You forgot to show the dots of the choke used in an EMC filter and also forgot to mention it. There is a reason why there are two coils, one at the input and a second one at the return part.

Thank you for this video! It will make more sense in time, as I get a better grasp of the components, and re-watch this video over time, but this is so appreciated to be able to have even a basic understanding now.
very ...very good explaintaion to people who not really good in electronic field like me, big thanks Bro !
Great content and you way of explaining is so easy to understand. Keep it up Bro.

You are talented and hard working person. Thank you for making so informative videos
on a whole it was an extraordinary video , cuz it was useful at the right time , (based on viewer situation) , it helped me a lot , very informative. looking forward to seeing more videos in electrical involving control systems techniques of circuit designing.
Sweet! Got down to fix my blown RO filter 24 V SMPS and I ended up taking a crash course in electronics.
Finally your videos started showing up on my suggestion page. :-)
Great video! I'm new here and I've seen all the Great Scott, ElectroBoom, Andreas Spiess, ect and I think you're one of the greats just like them and I'm going to get all caught up, sorry I've been sleeping on you.
very brief demonstration tutorial, thanks for video production😀
perfect tutorial. very clear. i show your demonstrations in my classes
Thanks for this video man I was just building a tl494 based SMPS 😃
Hello man, this video was very useful for me. Everything had been clearly explained.
WAY TO GO
The EMC filter also protects the grid side from noise generated by the high frequency curent choppers inside the SMPS.
Also important: The large toroidal inductor after the low voltage rectifier allows output voltage control with PWM. Otherwise, voltage control becomes quasi-impossible despite PWM.
nobody can explain this topic better than this
Great Sir
Your presentation and explaination are very valuable.
Thanks.😍😍😍😍
The best explanation video I ever heard
Thank you! That is definitely the best video on SMPS! 👍
Excellent video tutorial. Thank you and appreciate for the hard work and effort you have put.
Magnifico vídeo explicativo!!!... la info gráfica del las distintas etapas, funcionamiento y el recorrido de cómo actúa es didácticamente perfecto!!!... menudo trabajo!!!... gracias por compartir conocimientos
Thank you for the section by section details with animation, excellent video!
Super great video, just the thing that I always wanted to learn but never had a chance. Thanks!
Awesome ! Please make more of these types 👍
At 7.55 You forgot to show the dots of the choke used in an EMC filter and also forgot to mention it. There is a reason why there are two coils, one at the input and a second one at the return part.
Man you explained it reall really ver simple.....i m really ver happy to learn & get it quickly
That's was fantastic explanation ,am fully satisfied .thanks very much
Excellent explanation and graphics. Thanks.
