Comparative Analysis of Constant Current and Variable Power Supplies

This document outlines the essential parameters and operational characteristics of Constant Current Power Supplies (CCPS), Variable Linear Power Supplies (VLPS), and Switchmode Variable Power Supplies (SMVPS). Key aspects covered include nominal operating voltage, compliance voltage, and current limits for CCPS, along with noise levels and recovery times for VLPS. It highlights the efficiency, size, and noise issues associated with SMVPS, along with their advantages and disadvantages. The analysis also discusses the necessary filtering methods and shielding techniques to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Presentation Transcript

  1. Constant Current Power Supplies, Variable Linear Power supplies & Switchmode Variable Power Supplies Justin Kai EE 136 Project Prof. Zhou

  2. Constant-Current Power Supplies

  3. Important Parameters • Nominal operating voltage rage • Compliance voltage (upper limit) • Current limit

  4. Nominal Operating Mode

  5. Voltage Over-loaded Mode

  6. Linear Variable Power Supply (Char.) • Low noise level (micro-volt. Range) • Fast full recovery time • High power dissipation (low efficiency)

  7. Basic Drive Circuit “Piggyback”

  8. Basic Operation Considerations • Low voltage, High current output Q2=off Volt. drop in R1 (high power dissipation) • High voltage, High current Q2=on short R1 (low power dissipation)

  9. Power Loss Chart

  10. Switchmode Variable Power Supply • SMV power supply are small, light & efficiency will be maintained near 70% • One SMV can replace up to Three Variable Linear power supplies • SMV power supplies are very noisy  need special kind of filters are required

  11. Requirements of SMV Power Supply • Noise filtering must be optimum. Conventional filters cannot obtain the requirements in high accuracy applications • Faraday screen for switching sections and filters are essential, need metal or screened cabinets  minimize the EMI problems • Operating low output voltages demand very narrow power pulses • Basic supply with Fly-Back Converter transformer can be considered a constant energy source

  12. Block Diagram of SMV Power Supply

  13. Advantages: Low noise levels Fast full recovery Disadvantages: High power dissipation Large, heavy & inefficient Expensive heat sinks & transistors are required Advantages: small, light & efficient 1 SMV can replace 3 VL power supplies Disadvantages: SMV power supplies are very noisy  need special kind of filters are required Comparison (VL & SMV)
