← ScienceWhich consequence results when exceeding the Curie temperature of ferrite cores in a SMPS?
A)Increased core losses occur dramatically✓
B)Output voltage rapidly shifts polarity
C)Gate driver oscillation sharply increases
D)Switching MOSFET breakdown becomes immediate
💡 Explanation
When critical temperature is exceeded, the *loss of ferromagnetic order* takes place; because the material loses its efficient magnetic properties above its Curie point, core losses significantly increase rather than other circuit component failures, therefore severely impacting the power supply's efficiency.
