1. Executive Summary A Switch-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is an electronic power converter that uses a high-frequency switching regulator to convert electrical power efficiently. Unlike traditional linear power supplies that dissipate excess energy as heat, an SMPS utilizes semiconductor switching devices—such as MOSFETs or transistors—that rapidly alternate between full-on and full-off states. This mechanism significantly reduces energy loss and allows for more compact, lightweight designs. 2. Core Working Principles lightweight designs. 2. Core Working Principles
