Block Diagram DC Power Supply

Electricity flows that we use in homes, offices and factories in general are generated,
transmitted and distributed to the individual in the form of Alternating Current or AC current.
But, electronic devices that we use today mostly requires a DC current at a lower
voltage for operation. Therefore, almost every electronics equipment have a circuit
that functions to convert electrical current from AC current into DC current and also
to provide the appropriate voltage to its Electronic circuit. Circuit that converts AC
power into DC current is called the DC Power Supply. DC Power Supply is also
commonly known as the "adapter". So we can find a dc power supply in any of our
electronic equipment.
The working principle DC Power Supply (Adaptor) on each block by block
diagram above is the first from AC Voltage then to the Transformer, Transformer are
used for the DC power supply is a transformer type of Step-down which serves to
reduce the power supply voltage according to the needs of the component electronics
contained in the circuit of the adapter (DC Power Supply). Although voltage has been
lowered, the output of the transformer is still in the form of alternating current (AC)
to be rectify. So we need the Rectifier, Rectifier is a series of Electronics in Power
Supply that serves to convert the AC voltage into DC voltage after the voltage derived
by Step down transformers. After the voltage to be the DC, In a series of Power supply
need a filter, is used for leveling out of the current signal Rectifier. This filter usually
consists of a capacitor component that type is ELCO (Electrolyte Capacitor). To
generate voltage and DC current (direct current) are fixed and stable, required Voltage
Regulator that serves to regulate the voltage so that the voltage output is not affected
by temperature, load current and input voltage from Output Filter. Voltage Regulators
generally consist of Zener diodes, transistors or IC (Integrated Circuit).
So, DC Power Supply is device that converts AC power into DC current. DC
Power Supply is used to electronic devices that we use today mostly requires a DC
current at a lower voltage for operation.
 Rectifier atau penyearah gelombang adalah rangkaian Elektronika dalam Power
Supply (catu daya) yang berfungsi untuk mengubah gelombang AC menjadi gelombang
DC setelah tegangannya diturunkan oleh Transformator Step down.
Dalam rangkaian Power supply (Adaptor), Filter digunakan untuk meratakan
sinyal arus yang keluar dari Rectifier. Filter ini biasanya terdiri dari komponen
Kapasitor (Kondensator) yang berjenis Elektrolit atau ELCO (Electrolyte Capacitor).
Untuk menghasilkan Tegangan dan Arus DC (arus searah) yang tetap dan stabil,
diperlukan Voltage Regulator yang berfungsi untuk mengatur tegangan sehingga
tegangan Output tidak dipengaruhi oleh suhu, arus beban dan juga tegangan input
yang berasal Output Filter. Voltage Regulator pada umumnya terdiri dari Dioda Zener,
Transistor atau IC (Integrated Circuit).
