About this manual

The document introduces three different two-output power supply solutions: a capacitive passive network and two versions of low-cost SMPS Buck converters. The latter are based on the VIPer12A, a high-voltage Power MOSFET with an integrated current mode PWM controller by STMicroelectronics.

The note compares these converters in terms of output voltage regulation, efficiency, and EMI under approximately 0.6W output power conditions. It also details modifications to extend the output power level up to 1.1W.
