What is SMPS?

SMPS stands for Switched-Mode Power Supply. It is an electronic power supply that incorporates a switching regulator to convert electrical power efficiently. SMPS transfers power from a source to a load, often converting voltage and current characteristics. They are commonly used in devices requiring efficient and compact power conversion, such as computers, chargers, and other electronic equipment.
