Switch-Mode Custom Power Supply (SMPS)

A dual-output switch-mode power supply designed in KiCad for AC-DC conversion operating at a 55kHz switching frequency.


📌 Project Overview

This project features the complete schematic capture, footprint assignment, and 2-layer Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design for a high-efficiency switch-mode power supply. Built around a TL494 PWM controller, the board regulates dual outputs and utilizes half-bridge gate drivers with dual N-channel MOSFET power stages.


⚙️ Hardware Specifications

  • PWM Controller: TL494 Pulse-Width Modulation control circuit operating at 55kHz.
  • Gate Drivers: IRS2104 Half-Bridge Drivers for high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFET control.
  • Power Stage: CSD88537ND Dual N-Channel Synchronous Block MOSFETs.
  • PCB Architecture: Custom 2-layer board layout designed in KiCad, routing 40+ nets across 14 unique component types.
  • Diagnostics: Traced signal integrity across PWM generation, gate driver outputs, and switching nodes using digital multimeters to evaluate and isolate feedback network performance.

Questions

How big is the Power2 PCB?

It measures 67.5 × 62 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Power2 use?

46 parts, built around the IRS2104STRPBF, CSD88537ND and GBL610_T0_00601. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Power2 KiCad files?

From the Yaotinx/power-supply repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Power2/Power2/Power2.kicad_pcb and its schematic Power2/Power2/Power2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Power2 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Yaotinx before reusing the design.
