Power supplies are a frequently misunderstood—and overlooked—PC component. Many users choose a PC power supply based on total wattage alone, assuming that higher is always synonymous with better.

Most electrical engineers believe they have a good understanding of power supplies because they are relatively simple, single-function DC devices designed to output controlled voltages. However, there ...

Although variable dc power supplies might appear to be relatively simple instruments, engineers rely on them to deliver stable, precise, and clean voltages and currents, regardless of the load. To ...

Consumer electronics, industrial, robotics, medical, and military applications all frequently use an AC/DC power supply, also referred to as AC/DC converter. An accurate design of the power supply ...
