Well

I would like to know the requirements for DVD SMPS.

What are the constraints?

What I know is they have their power requirements of 50W typically.

The require voltage levels are +12, -12, 3.8 and 5.

Sometimes -24 V is found.

And there are voltage requirements as low as 1.8 V, I think.

What more should I know if I want to design a SMPS for DVD player.

I have already know some links.

What I need now is some straightforward hints.

Regards

Most likely your output voltages may not swing more than 5%.

>What I know is they have their power requirements of 50W typically.

Measure the load per low voltage side.

>The require voltage levels are +12, -12, 3.8 and 5.

Properbly for motors.

Smps is complex. Consider if you shouldn't just buy a smps module.

What is load per low voltage side? I need details on this.

Well complexity draws all my attention to it!

I would like to be the one who designs and sells SMPS modules or I
would like to be the one responsible for power supplies while being a
part of a team designing a larger system in electronics.

Check this site, which seems to be down at the moment:
http://www.genomerics.org/.

The owner is an expert in SMPS design. He can't get a job.

Thanks for your comments.

I am not saying that I would do SMPS designs as a stand alone
professional, but I would work in Power Electronics Field specializing
on Switching Topologies and Power Converters.

I started with UPS systems, inverters, AC relay type voltage
regulators, then for now, I am studying SMPS designs, and then I could
even go to the design and development of motor drive systems instead; I
mean anywhere in Power Electronics Field.

Regards
