Power Supply and SMPS easy definition

Power Supply:
A power supply is an electronic device that supplies electric energy to an electric loads. The primary function of the power supply is to convert one form of electrical energy into another and as a result, power supplies are sometimes are referred to as electric power converter.
                Most modern desktop, PC power supplies confirm to ATX specification, which includes form factors and voltage tolerance. While an ATX power supply is connected to the main supply, it always provide a 5V standby (5VSB) voltage.so that the standby function of the computer can be powered. ATX power supplies are turned on and off from the signal from the motherboard. It also provide a signal to the motherboard to indicate when the DC voltage and are in need. So, that the computer is able to safely power off and boot.

SMPS:

                SMPS is a power supply that uses a switching regulator to control and stabilize the output voltage by switching load current on and off. These power supplies provide greater power conversion and reduces the overall power loss.

SMPS converts the input AC voltage to the DC voltage needed by the computer. In older computers, AT SMPS were used. Currently,
