Is it possible to build a variable switching power supply from 0 to 30 V? Or is it only for a fixed voltage?

Thanks.
 

Re: Switching power supply?

Switching PS with variable o/p is very much possible.

Chane the reference voltage of the error amplifier to vary the o/p voltage.

bimbla.
 

Re: Switching power supply?

There are several second order effects to watch out for.

One is that the loop gain changes when you change the output. This may lead to stability problems and transient problems when the load current suddenly changes.

The other thing is the efficiency and ripple filtering may change with different outputs.

can get info of power supply of the computers for more ideas

In the book "Swith Mode Power Supply Handbook" by Keith Billings there is a design for such a variable supply. Book is available in MCU file manager for download - or used to be.
