I came across a different type of SMPSU recently. I think it was from a mini
mainframe computer. It looked quite conventional at first sight until I saw the
independent output regulation per rail! How did it do that?
THE MAINS BIT
This was push pull @ 76kHz to a large ferrite transformer (600W), it had pulse
width control that seemed to just control the overall power available.

The main soothing caps (2x 1000uF & option for more off board!) are charged up
via the series mains R, & when the output starts up an isolated winding is used
to drive the mains live triac on, to short out the series mains R.
SECONDARY PCBs
There was one of these per output rail, a semi-linear 24V 1A PCB, & controlled
reactance regulators for 5-7V @ 40A 2x 10-19V @ 10A, all isolated independant
of each other, their circuits are very strange...

Negative input swings go through T1 & D1 & Via L1 to the output. These tend to
saturate T1 as current flows into L1. On reversal L1 discharges the stored
energy via D2 to the output capacitors, increasing the output voltage. Applying
load current increases the saturation of T1 & increases the drive into L1.
Positive input swings via D4 & T1s lower control winding & 56R are applied to
the TIP transistor's collector. So turning on the NPN will produce some current
in T1 in opposition to the saturation, e.g. de-saturating it. This allows far
more voltage to appear across T1 & thus there is less output.
This means that 2W of control power controls 200W of DC output & all done with
ferrite rings & diodes @ 76kHz.

Voltage control is done with a sample of the output compared to a 5V reference
zener. The op amp is slowed down with CR output to -ve input to avoid HF QRM &
loop instability, but some speed up is applied to the output feed drive T1 base
Note that op amp high, means output low!
Current limiting is almost a mirror image using the 0V input feature of the
LF358 op amp. The more negative shunt input is taken to the negative op amp
into to produce a positive output to stop the current. The limit is set up by
applying current to the series 150R to give a small offset voltage, that equals
shunts voltage drop at the limit current.
For diagram simplicity remote sense options are not shown, but they use 100R
to extra terminals for remote sense leads, & these are connected to the
relevant voltage reference points of the circuit not the shown local output
terminals.
On the 5V PSU the current diode D2 is doubled up & on a larger heatsink. As 5V
is used for logic chips, there is also an overvoltage SCR crowbar.
SEMI LINEAR REGULATOR
It used a swing choke L (ferrite pot core) & RF efficient diode D2 in the
input. This reduces the voltage & increases the current available.

Due to the off load peak of the choke input a shunt regulator Z1 & T1 adds a
load from 33V. The adjustable 78 regulator has inbuilt current limiting at 1A.
EFFICIENCY
Although this SMPSU seem very complex, it all runs fairly cool, so I guess it
is quite efficient really.
MY USE
As the PSU may be HF noisy, I intend to use it not for ham radio work, but @
27V for battery charging of 4 large 6V 200AH bus batteries. So I have uprated
the 10A 12V PSUs to 15A @ 13.5V & added a heavy relay to join them together
powered from the 24V linear PSU, so there is no battery load on no mains. The
40A 5V PSU has been set to 6.75V for boosting a 6V battery if needed.
Why don't U send an interesting bul?
