G7A08
Which of the following is characteristic of a switchmode power supply as compared to a linear power supply?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. High-frequency operation allows the use of smaller components
A switchmode supply runs at high frequency, so its transformers and filter parts can be much smaller and lighter than those in a linear supply.
Tip: Switchers: high frequency, small parts.
