Design your own Compact 5V/3.3V SMPS Circuit for Embedded and IoT Projects



Here we will build a SMPS that can be used for general purposes and has a simple module shape to be used in space-related situations. Nowadays, the Internet of Things uses various wifi-based processors like NodeMCU, ESP32, and ESP12E, etc. which operate on 5V or 3.3V. These modules are highly compact and hence to power these boards, it makes sense to use smaller SMPS circuits that can go on the same board, instead of using a separate SMPS circuit. Hence in this article, we will learn how to build a SMPS circuit that can either output 5V or 3.3V (hardware configurable using jumper), the circuit design and PCB layout is also provided, so you can simply port this into your existing design. Here our PCB boards are manufactured by PCBGoGo, a china based low cost high quality PCB prototype and PCB assembly service company.
