Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram of the device. The design consists of two main parts: the main regulator circuit and the current-limiting circuit. IC3 is the LM338 5A positive linear regulator. 1 ...

Announced by Acopian Power Supplies is the UL recognition and CE approval of their mini encapsulated series of linear regulated power supplies. The AC-DC power supply series is encapsulated in an ...

Although variable DC power supplies might appear to be relatively simple devices common to every engineer’s benchtop, they are actually sophisticated instruments. They must reliably deliver voltage ...

Here at Hackaday we really like to feature projects that push the limits of what’s possible, or ones that feature some new and exciting technology that nobody has ever seen before. So what’s so ...

The key component of the dc power management system is the power supply that provides dc power for the associated system. The specific type of dc power management depends on its power input, which ...

Meridian just released the Prime Power Supply, a special low-noise, highly regulated linear power supply designed to be the perfect partner to their Prime Headphone Amplifier. Its reference-quality, ...

Electronic equipment requiring dc power must adjust the ac input to a usable level with transformers or switching transistors and use a rectifier stage to convert the ac to dc. Primary ...

We’ve often heard you should do everything twice. The first time is to learn what you need to do, and the second time is to do it right. We bet [Ian Carey] would agree after taking his old linear ...

Power supply manufacturers sometimes hear from customers with unfortunate dilemmas, such as, “I need to operate the power supply outside its rated voltage range.” Or, “What happens if I exceed my ...

Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...
