Definition of Terms:
1. A power supply is a device that supplies
electric power to an electrical load. The term
is most commonly applied to electric power
converters that convert one form of electrical
energy to another, though it may also refer to
devices that convert another form of energy
to electrical energy. ...

•2. Alternating current - an electric
current that is continually varying in
value and reversing its direction of
flow at regular interval
•3. Anode - a positive electrode of
semiconductor device
Definition of Terms:
•3. Capacitance - a property that exists
whenever two conductors are
separated by insulating material,
permitting the storage of electricity

•7. De-soldering - a process of unsoldering
unwanted parts or components in the
circuit with the support of a soldering tool
•8. Dielectric material - a material that
serves as insulator because it has poor
electric conductivity
•9. Direct current - an electric current that
flows in one direction
Definition of Terms:

Power Supply
 Power Supply
•All electronic circuits need a
power source to work.
•For electronic circuits made up
of transistors and/or ICs, this
power source must be a DC
voltage of a specific value.
 Power Supply
•Power Supply Characteristics
•The input is the 120 volt 60 Hz
AC power line. Alternately, the
input may be 240 volt AC.
 Power Supply
•The power supply converts the AC into
DC and provides one or more DC output
voltages. volt AC.
 Power Supply
•Main circuits in most power
supplies.
 Power Supply
•Power Supply
•The AC line is first passed through a low
pass filter of the form shown in figure.
 Power Supply
•Transformer
•A transformer is commonly used to step
the input AC voltage level down or up.
 Power Supply
•Rectifier
• The rectifier converts the AC sine wave
into a pulsating DC wave.
•Regulator
•• The regulator is a circuit that helps
maintain a fixed or constant output
voltage.
 Power Supply

•DC-DC Converter
•Most modern power supplies also
contain one or more DC-DC converters.
 Power Supply
•How Rectifiers Work
•The simplest form of rectifier is
the half wave rectifier shown.
•Only the transformer, rectifier
diode, and load (RL) are shown
without the filter and other
components.
 Power Supply
• How Rectifiers Work
 Power Supply
• Bridge Rectifier
• Another widely used rectifier is the bridge rectifier. It uses four diodes.
• This is called a full wave rectifier as it produces an output pulse for each half
cycle of the input sine wave.
 Power Supply
• How the Filter Works
• A large capacitor is connected across the load resistor. This capacitor filters
the pulses into a more constant DC.
 Power Supply
• Schematic
 Power Supply
• Full-Wave Rectifier
 Power Supply
•Ripple
• The capacitor does a good job of smoothing
the pulses from the rectifier into a more
constant DC.
•The Regulator
• Most regulators are ICs .
• These are feedback control circuits that
actually monitor the output voltage to detect
variations.
