Steps up the input voltage to a higher output level.
The SMPS is omnipresent in modern technology, used in everything from smartphone chargers and laptop power bricks to industrial machinery and household appliances. While the initial manufacturing cost can be higher due to specialized components like high-frequency transformers, the long-term energy savings and reduced size make them the preferred choice for most original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
