Measurement and analysis with MSO/DPO oscilloscopes - Part 2

20 April, 2010

The prevailing DC power supply architecture in most modern systems is the SMPS because of its ability to efficiently handle changing input voltages and loads. It minimises the use of lossy components such as resistors and linear-mode transistors, and emphasises components that are (ideally) lossless.
