Understanding SMPS Parameters: Burst Duty, Frequency & More

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding key parameters related to Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), specifically "burst duty," "burst frequency," "timing/phase shift," and "timing/dead time." The original poster seeks clarification on these terms for a project involving GUI development for digital control. Participants emphasize the importance of self-research and suggest consulting resources like Wikipedia for foundational knowledge. The conversation highlights the need for the poster to engage with existing literature to better grasp these concepts. Ultimately, a proactive approach to learning is encouraged to enhance understanding of SMPS parameters.

Hi,
I am doing an application regarding SMPS. In the project i encounter the terms "Burst duty, burst frequency, Timing/phase shift and timing/ dead time".

Can anyone explaine me about those parameters and how they are important in SMPS working.

What textbook are you using for your studying of SMPS?

EDIT -- Even though this is a project, and possibly qualifies to be posted here in EE instead of the Homework Help forums, we will not do your project for you. You need to learn how to figure these things out on your own, without asking for the answers on a web forum.

If you can post the reasearch you've done, and show what is confusing you, we can try to clear up any confusions you have. But please don't ask us to give you the answers to questions on your project that you can figure out on your own with a little reading.

This is just making GUI for digital control. In building that, I saw these parameters and i need to get commands for those specified parameters. That is the reason, i want make my self clear about those parameters. I am not reading any textbook now and even i searched web for information. At last no clear answer for those parameters.

The wikipedia intro article is pretty good:

And the External Links at the bottom of the article will get you to articles that describe most of the terms you are asking about. Please try reading through those first...
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
