  2. Switched-mode power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply

    Stand-alone switched-mode power supply An adjustable switched-mode power supply for laboratory use. A switched-mode power supply (SMPS), also called switching-mode power supply, switch-mode power supply, switched power supply, or simply switcher, is an electronic power supply that incorporates a switching regulator to convert electrical power efficiently.

  3. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

    These switches appear externally similar to single pole, single throw (SPST) switches, but have extra connections which allow a circuit to be controlled from multiple locations. Toggling the switch disconnects one "traveler" terminal and connects the other. Electrically, a typical "3-way" switch is a single pole, double throw (SPDT) switch. By ...

  4. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

  5. Commutation cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutation_cell

    The commutation cell is the basic structure in power electronics.It is composed of two electronic switches (today, a high-power semiconductor, not a mechanical switch).It was traditionally referred to as a chopper, but since switching power supplies became a major form of power conversion, this new term has become more popular.

  6. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    Architectural style wiring diagram, with lamps and switches shown symbolically in their physical locations on the plan view of the building. Architectural wiring diagrams show the approximate locations and interconnections of receptacles, lighting, and permanent electrical services in a building. Interconnecting wire routes may be shown ...

  7. Buck converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_converter

    The input is left side, the output with load is right side. The switch is typically a MOSFET, IGBT, or BJT transistor. A buck converter or step-down converter is a DC-to-DC converter which decreases voltage, while increasing current, from its input to its output . It is a class of switched-mode power supply.

  8. Transfer switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_switch

    Simplified single line diagram of a single-phase transfer switch to select either 'city' (utility) power or local generator power 3-phase Intelligent transfer switch. A transfer switch is an electrical switch that switches a load between two sources. Some transfer switches are manual, in that an operator effects the transfer by throwing a ...

  9. Power gating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_gating

    An externally switched power supply is a very basic form of power gating to achieve long term leakage power reduction. To shut off the block for small intervals of time, internal power gating is more suitable. CMOS switches that provide power to the circuitry are controlled by power gating controllers. Outputs of the power gated block discharge ...
