Which one of the following circuits allows control of the SMPS output?

Which one of the following circuits allows control of the SMPS output? Correct Answer PWM circuit

Switched Mode Power Supply:

  • SMPS is based on the chopper principle, the output dc voltage is controlled by varying the duty cycle of chopper by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) or FM (Frequency Modulation)  techniques.
  • In SMPS, PWM technique is used for the inverter. The output of the inverter then converted to dc by a diode rectifier.
  • As the inverter is made to operate at a very high frequency, the ripples on the dc output voltage can be filtered out easily by using small filter components.
  • If the switching devices are power transistors, the chopping frequency is limited to 40 kHz.
  • For power MOSFETs, the chopping frequency is of the order of 200 kHz; as a result, the size of the filter circuit and transformer decreases leading to considerable savings.
  • At such frequency, ferrite core is used in transformers.
  • Like other power supplies, an SMPS transfers power from a DC or AC source (often mains power), to DC loads, such as a personal computer, while converting voltage and current characteristics. Switched-mode power supplies may also be substantially smaller and lighter than a linear supply due to the smaller transformer size and weight.

Based on the paragraph given below answer the following question: The traditional methods of combinational circuits involve simplification and realization using gates. Using these methods, complex functions have been integrated and are easily available in IC form. There is an attractive array of devices like a multiplexer, demultiplexer, decoders, comparators, parity generators/checkers, which significantly reduce IC package count there by reducing the system cost. The system design is greatly simplified because the laborious and time-consuming simplification methods are generally not required with these devices. This also improves the reliability of the system by reducing the number of external wired connections. But they have some limitations as well. Different memories like ROM, PROM can also be used to implement combinational circuits without much simplification.   Consider the following digital circuits. 1. Multiplexers 2. Read Only Memories 3.
