How can I get negative voltage from SMPS?
SMPS will create negative voltage by reversing polarity of rectifier diode and filter capacitor. Also it may need changes in phase relation of primary and secondary of the power transformer. Block diagram of a SMPS with positive output is shown in Figure-1 below.
How do you make a negative voltage power supply?
If you want to connect negative voltage with earth ground, then all you have to do is tie the earth ground terminal of the DC power supply and the positive terminal common. This makes the positive terminal grounded to earth. And the negative terminal then connects to whichever part needed to supply negative voltage.
Can Arduino output negative voltage?
Normally, Arduino gives +5 voltages from its interface. And some electronics application requires both positive and negative supply voltage.
Can a SMPS be used as a variable voltage supply?
This following post tries to determine a method through which any SMPS could be made into a variable power supply for achieving any desired voltage level from 0 to maximum. We find that it employs a shunt regulator circuit stage for executing the variable voltage feature in the design.
What’s the maximum voltage of a switchmode power supply?
Analysis, operation, and modification of a switchmode power supply (SMPS) for variable output voltage (28/10/15) End result: 33A maximum output current, adjustable from 4.8V to 15V 7.5V supply availability After this page was posted on Hackaday, a commenter pointed out that 7.5V is actually a standard power supply voltage!
Is it possible to change the voltage of a power supply?
I reckoned that it should be possible to modify such a supply to provide a fully-adjustable output voltage which could be set to the desired 7.4V.
What happens when I Turn Off the SMPS?
The above condition results in the SMPS output to also instantaneously shut down, however the moment this switching initiates, it corrects and restores the output to the safe zone and the LED inside the opto deactivates which once again switches ON the input stage of the SMPS.
