Material Detail

Created by Work-Ready Electronics, a project of the Advanced Technological Education program, this module walks visitors through the basics of contemporary power supplies. The content of the site is divided into seven areas: contemporary power supply technology, SMPS technology, architecture and operation, discrete devices and SMPS performance, improving efficiency, power supply architectures, power management and digital control in SMPS. There is a quiz for each in the Knowledge Probe area, and the Learning Resources section contains two activities to help cement student understanding. There are also further resources - both print and Web based - for more information and two Questors, a Flash trivia game. The Notebook function allows visitors to take notes and review them at any time. This is an excellent resource students and educators in electronics technician programs.
