Power supply design

Power supply design is crucial to the reliability, efficiency, and safety of any electronic system. Key approaches include switching power supplies—available in non-isolated (e.g., buck, boost, buck-boost) and isolated (e.g., flyback, forward, push-pull) topologies—for high-efficiency conversion across wide input ranges. For low-noise, low-dropout applications, LDO regulators provide simple, stable linear regulation where efficiency is secondary to precision and minimal ripple.
