Hi everyine!
Based on your experience, what is the most appropriate power supply toplogy for low cost applications?
Thanks a lot!

Hi, Assuming you are talking about dc-dc power conversion: 1. Typically Linear Regulators are the cheapest. But efficiency is poor. 2. Amongst SMPS topologies: a. If only step-down is required, go for Buck as plenty of ICs with integrated FETs are available. b. If only step-up is required, Boost is the way to go. c. If isolation and/or step-up/down is required, Flyback is acknowledged to be the lowest part count topology. -vishal

Considering the green tendecy, most of the of line SMPS will need a PFC at the front end. This will force the use of a balanced resonant swither for best efficience. We need integration of components in less chips. Manoel Pereira

The best topology to be followed depends on the input voltage, output voltage and output current.
Based on the above parameters we can suggest a topology optimised for cost

For off line low power below 60w(L6566B like), Fly back is good topolgy. For off line
70--400w Boost PFC+Resonant Half Bridge(L6562A\3+L6599A) will give best effeciency. For low voltage dc-dc L598x or L497X Family are good for buck or Buck boost. Similar devices are available from STMicro,Onsemi,Fairchild,Lineartech and TI. STMicro and Fairchild has complete solutuins with ref designs.

One can suggest the most appropriate topology once we know the following: 1. Vin 2. Vout 3. Iout 4. isolation required or not 5. Application (Load) Ram

Discontinuous flybacks are best suited below 50W, CCM flybacks upto 100W, Forward converters single and two transistor are good up to 500W and then over 500W, it becomes the double ended converter play. These are push pull, half bridge and full brigde with some topological variations for higher power applications. I have mentioned converters here that help you get the needed isolation between input and output. If you have any furher interest in knowing more specifics about any type, please ask.
