  • In this video I explain in detail how does a half-bridge switching power supply work. I use my 24V 10A 240W SMPS for demonstration, but most AT and ATX computer power supplies and many other high-powered power supplies work the same way.

      @Thewld < Formal learning will teach you the necessary theories which are very important, while these videos provide you practical experience. In my opinion both are equally important to become a knowledgeable engineer. ;)

    Very good explanation! Especially about the feedback circuitry. It´s by far the most complex part of these power supplies.
    When I started learning about switching converters, I originally wanted to build one with all _discrete_ circuitry. Then I learned about the insanity called feedback circuits.

    • @sovietrepublic38
      @sovietrepublic38 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Feedback circuits are really unfathomable. Those people who designed them are genius.

    • @BogdanSerban
      @BogdanSerban 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Feedback itself is quite easy to understand and quite fun to design also, but compensation is simply insane.

  • @KGE64
    @KGE64 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The startup circuit is especially clever. And they save an optocoupler and still have isolation between primary and secondary. It also makes troubleshooting easier because you connect the oscilloscope to the isolated part.

  • @PeterMilanovski
    @PeterMilanovski 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Anything is possible when you understand the operation of something and what all the components do in the circuit. I would definitely love to see you convert a SMPS into a bench top power supply! Especially if there's two of them to get both positive and negative rails. A retail dual rail power supply is way to expensive but it's a necessary tool for electronic work...

    Thanks for this great review and in detail explanation of switching power supplies in half-bridge configuration! This is probably one of the most in-depth explanations i have come across yet! Looking really forward to your modification to a lab bench power supply! There are so many powerfull server PSUs out there very well worth beeing converted to bench PSUs :-) Some of them reach several kW of power and can deliver well over 100 Amps at 50 V e.g. But they are even much more complicated than this example ;-)

    Superior explanation... that is really how it is... It’s worth to mention that half-bridge and full-bridge SMPS are more efficient, more powerful derivatives from push-pull conception - 2 alternately switching transistors, divided windings, 2 diodes which means double the power charging the coil which is collecting energy. Best wishes from Poland.

    Awesome! Thanks, this helped me to identify the difference between the 12V and 24V model and alter mine into the 24V model. If anyone else want's to do this on the S-250-12 model, change R33 from 10K to 22K, and remove one of the two shunts to prevent over current at the higher voltage. Also if you just want to raise the voltage a bit, replace R33 with 12K and you then get 12V - 16.8V.

    Replace the aluminum of the main inductor should not make changes if you keep the same section and number of turns: you could only raise the maximum current bearable by the inductor (not the ouput current)
    Differently, if you change the number of turns you open a world of possibilities .... but in this case, the teacher is you!

    Great video. That's pretty strange with the output filter inductor. You say it may have been from a 12V supply. Maybe it was in a common mode choke configuration on the 12V supply? Then repurposed with the two sides paralleled to work with 5V, but if the inductor were being specified, it's not clear why they wouldn't just use one with a single winding...
    Anyway, your power supply knowledge is really impressive and it's amazing that you are making these videos rather than doing high-price consulting.

    • @mrjohhhnnnyyy5797
      @mrjohhhnnnyyy5797 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      CM chokes use high-permeability cores, like ferrite. In normal operation the fields cancel each other and all you see is active resistance of the coil. But for CM noise it presents a high impedance, since then you have two inductors in series effectively and 4 times the inductance of the single winding.

    @rafaellarios3707 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great explanation on this subject!
    It happens that I'm fixing the 150W version of this very same power supply which is not regulating under load. After seeing your video, I adventured to use the same trick you did in order to see the waveforms on the power and base drive transformers.
    However, the pulse width at the base is just 7.2us max. I can see that yours is closer to 10us with 2.1A load.
    One thing that I found strange is that the pulse coming from the TL494's C1 pin gets a width of 15.3us, which goes to the base of its corresponding C1815 transistor driving the pulse transformer, and the pulse width at the collector of this very same transistor is just 7.2us with only 66 ohms. I wonder if this has something to do with this transformer maybe gone bad. Using just 100 ohms as a load kept both readings at same pulse width.
    Adding 200 ohms in parallel (with this 100 ohm resistor) caused the pulse to go the widest and output voltage fell from 24V to 20V.
    Could the magnetizing inductance in this pulse transformer have changed?
    Congrats on this great channel!!

    Hi, it would be very cool if you could try to build your own power supply of the various topologies, going simplest to more complex, showing your considerations in the design, and then building it to see how well it works. You could even take parts from other supplies so you built your own 'franken-supplies' :)

    @longrunner258 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Regarding that arrangement error with the NTC thermistor, I think I've now seen the correct implementation of what they've apparently butchered-down:
    One of the old ATX power supplies I have, a Hipro HP-300SN (probably fairly "high-end" in 1998 when it was designed according to the PCB, though underwhelming by the standards of modern reviewers; now salvaged for parts), used a *pair* of NTC thermistors (each 2R5 nominal; it's common enough in other units to use just one such thermistor which I consider marginal on 230V) in the + and − terminals of the diode bridge; so that the 100~127V input range charges the capacitors through the 2.5Ω on their respective sides, while the 200~250V range charges the pair through the total 5Ω, thereby allowing a more forgiving compromise between maximum inrush and dissipation under load. So perhaps someone later copied such a design, then removed one thermistor without understanding the reason behind the arrangement.
