Key Takeaways Variable-frequency power supply design hinges on intelligent semiconductor selection: MOSFETs dominate high-frequency, low-voltage stages (e.g., PFC), while IGBTs are optimal for medium-to-high voltage, medium-frequency motor drives (dc bus 400–800 V, switching up to ~20 kHz). COOLMOS (superjunction) technology…

Key Takeaways SMPS achieves high efficiency (80–90%+) by operating the power switch in saturation/cutoff — minimizing conduction and voltage drop losses. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is the dominant control method due to its fixed switching frequency, which simplifies EMI filtering…
Key Takeaways Crss (reverse transfer capacitance) and Qgd dominate switching loss in MOSFETs—prioritize low Crss over low total gate charge when selecting for hard-switching SMPS above 100 kHz. MOSFETs offer positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient for inherent current sharing in parallel…
Key Takeaways SMPS control loop stability hinges on achieving ≥45° phase margin and ≥12 dB gain margin — not just theoretical modeling, but bench-verified with a frequency response analyzer (FRA). The power-stage transfer function dictates compensation type: Type II suffices…
