The circuit diagram and working of Variable Voltage Power Supply from Fixed Voltage Regulator is explained in detailed manner. The voltage regulator is used to offer fixed voltage at the output ...

Once upon a time, building yourself a power supply required sourcing all manner of components, from transformers to transistors, knobs, and indicators. These days, everything’s a bit more integrated ...

Surprising facts, like “old fangled” 3-leg linear regulators (LM317, LM337, LM350, et al.) can be used in shunt regulator topologies can sometimes inspire “new fangled” circuit designs. Figure 1 shows ...

Switch-mode power supplies are ubiquitous. Standard off-the-shelf modules in a consistent range of form factors available from multiple manufacturers. Globalized manufacturing and trade has turned ...

Don’t get zapped when buying a new high-voltage DC power supply. Understand the specifications first. Lasers, linear accelera-tors, X-ray machines, defibrillators, radar, and numerous other ...

Is high-voltage DC (HVDC) the future of power distribution in data centers? If so, power-supply designers will have to work through a lot of challenges to make it a reality. The evolution of power ...
