Investigation of the power supply's turn-on and turn-off dynamics

摘要

The dynamics of circuit interaction in terms of inrush current, stress level on components and the viability of protection and monitoring networks during the turn-on and turn-off intervals is investigated. Of special interest is the buildup and release of energy stored within the unit. Several methods for proper sequencing during the above transitions are outlined with particular focus on the behavior of pulse-width modulated units.
