Current Sensing in SMPS
Hi,
I want to construct a CC-CV SMPS using TOPSWITCH similar to one shown in **broken link removed** (Figure 11-Cellular Phone Adapter). There is also an Design Idea numbered DI-8 from Powerint for same thing.
The effeciency of given circuit is 60% and I want it to be more than 80%.
There is one point in DI-8 mentioning "Efficiency can be significantly improved by employing current sense techniques with lower voltage thresholds.". What does this mean. Can anyone clarify this?
