In this video we go through every component of a modern switch mode power supply taking a look at their function. The first half of the video is dedicated to understanding how inductors are used in these circuits, as these are the beating hearts of power supplies. The second half of the video runs through each component, with increasing complexity, highlighting their position in both the schematic and the physical circuit before delving into their purpose.
