Re: QMX SMPS issues, and a possible cure


 

From the readme:? "Behaves well when output is suddenly shorted and then the short is removed."??
Try this:
The most brutal power supply torture test I saw was to connect the supply output with heavy leads to two 3/8" copper bolts closely spaced in an insulating block.
Energize the supply, then take a coarse file and file the ends of the bolts simultaneously.??
Watch the sparks fly and monitor the supply for instabilities. ?The fast, random short/open transitions, with bonus negative-resistance arcs, will challenge any control loop.
I love getting paid to do stuff like that.
