is a standard switch-mode power supply (SMPS) used specifically in the PlayStation 4 Slim (CUH-2100 series)
This uses a half-bridge or full-bridge topology with high-power MOSFETs (like Q4 ) to switch the high-voltage DC into a high-frequency AC, which is then stepped down by the main transformer and rectified to 12V. 3. Common Failure Points & Component Data
Utilizes a dedicated controller IC, an inductor (boost choke), and a power diode to boost the voltage up to roughly 390V to 400V DC . This stage ensures highly efficient power delivery and matches the phase of current to voltage.
No voltages present on either rail, but the main bulk capacitor holds a dangerous high-voltage charge long after unplugging.
, which powers the console’s basic functions and standby mode. Main Rail Output: +12V at 13A
