SMPS 14V@20A

SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) is an electronic power supply. These are classified into four types based on the input and output voltages.
DC to DC
AC to DC
AC to AC
DC to AC
In this post we will concentrate only on AC to DC (also called off-line DC power supply) converter. The input voltage is normal AC mains and the output rating is 14V@20A. The main blocks in this SMPS are Controller card and Switching Circuit . The functionality of the card is to Sense the output Voltage and Current. We used N-Channel Power MOSFETS (IRFP460) for Switching purpose. It has HY3845 which is fixed frequency current mode PWM controller.
The preview of controller card schematic and image is given below:-

Pictures of the SMPS is given below:-




This power supply can also be used for SSB Transmitter.
We shall keep updating the post for more information. Suggestions are most welcome.
