DC POWER SUPPLY

ETYMOLOGY

A DC Power Supply is an electronic device that provides a stable and regulated direct current (DC) output to power various electronic circuits, devices, and systems.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

• AC Input: An AC power source (like the electrical grid) provides input to the power supply.
• Conversion: The AC input is converted into DC through rectification and filtering stages.
• Regulation: The voltage is regulated to maintain a constant output, often using feedback circuits to adjust for load changes.
• Output: The final DC voltage is made available at the output terminals for powering devices.

APPLICATIONS

• Electronics Testing: Used in laboratories and workshops to provide a stable voltage for testing circuits and devices.
• Powering Devices: Commonly used in powering low-voltage electronic devices like microcontrollers, sensors, and LED lighting.
• Communication Systems: Provides power for communication equipment like radios and transmitters.
• Battery Charging: Often used in applications requiring controlled charging of batteries.
