What is the function of a crowbar circuit?
  • It provides a voltage reference for the voltage regulator.
  • Correct Answer
    It prevents an overvoltage condition from damaging circuitry by shorting the power supply output.
  • It provides a voltage reference for the chopper circuit.
  • It provides a feedback signal for the chopper circuit.

Which of the following statements about switching power supplies is the most accurate?
  • Correct Answer
    Transformers use a ferrite core to reduce losses at high frequencies.
  • Transformers use a laminated steel core to reduce losses at high frequencies.
  • Lower switching frequencies provide better voltage regulation.
  • Higher switching frequencies are more difficult to filter.
