Understanding SMPS Parameters: Burst Duty, Frequency & More

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around understanding specific parameters related to Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), including "Burst duty," "burst frequency," "Timing/phase shift," and "timing/dead time." Participants seek clarification on these terms and their significance in the operation of SMPS.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests explanations of the terms related to SMPS and their importance in the context of their project.
  • Another participant emphasizes the need for self-research and suggests that the original poster should clarify their confusion based on their own findings.
  • A participant mentions that they are not currently using a textbook and have searched online without finding clear answers.
  • One participant recommends a Wikipedia article on switching power supplies as a useful resource for understanding the parameters in question.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the definitions or importance of the parameters discussed, and participants express differing levels of familiarity and resources regarding SMPS.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided specific definitions or explanations for the terms in question, and the discussion reflects a range of understanding and resources available to them.

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:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switching_power_supply

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...
