In the vast and complex field of power supply, push-pull switching power supplies were once like a shining star, widely used in many different fields. However, do you really understand clearly? In fact, it does have three major shortcomings that cannot be underestimated!
push-pull switching power supply
Firstly, the circuit structure of push-pull switching power supplies has a high level of complexity. Specifically, it requires the use of more electronic components and complex wiring to achieve its functionality, which means that during the design phase, engineers need to spend a lot of time and effort planning and optimizing circuit layouts to ensure the stability and reliability of the power supply. In the manufacturing process, higher levels of craftsmanship and quality control are also needed to avoid performance degradation or failures caused by manufacturing defects. Moreover, once a push-pull switching power supply malfunctions, due to the complexity of its circuit, repairing and handling it will be relatively more difficult and troublesome. Maintenance personnel need to have profound knowledge of electronic technology and rich maintenance experience in order to accurately identify the fault point and carry out effective repairs.
Secondly, in certain specific practical situations, its efficiency is not particularly prominent. Especially when compared with some new power supply technologies, it may be slightly inferior in terms of energy conservation. For example, in some application scenarios that require extremely high energy efficiency, such as high-end servers, data centers, etc., push-pull switching power supplies may not be able to meet their demanding energy-saving requirements. For modern devices that strive for high efficiency, this may become an important factor that needs to be carefully considered.
Finally, push-pull switching power supplies may also face some tricky challenges in terms of electromagnetic compatibility. Specifically, during its operation, it may generate strong electromagnetic radiation and interference. This may have a certain degree of interference on various electronic devices in the surrounding area, thereby having a negative impact on the stability and reliability of the entire system. For example, it may cause signal interference and data transmission errors in nearby wireless communication devices.
However, do not completely negate push-pull switching power supplies just because of the above situations! After all, each power technology has its own specific application scenarios and unique advantages. Under certain specific conditions, push-pull switching power supplies can still play an extremely important role.
So, when choosing a power source, we must comprehensively consider various factors and make the most suitable choice based on actual needs. Don't blindly follow the trend or blindly pursue new technologies, but find the one that best suits you.
So, are you still using a push-pull switch power supply? What do you think of its shortcomings?
