Here are 4 simple 12V power supply circuits with output voltages around 12V. First power supply circuit is built with BD139, one zener diode and a few passive components. Each of the schematic is very ...
While troubleshooting the power supply of a 1970s Centurion system, [Usagi Electrics] came across a fascinating feature of these units: the ferroresonant, or constant voltage transformer (CVT). The ...
The PC power supply has been a standard of the junk box for the last couple of decades, and will probably continue to be for the foreseeable future. A product that is often built to a very high ...
Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and ...
If the power source is a listed Class 2 transformer or listed Class 2 power supply — or it’s in listed equipment marked to identify the Class 2 power source — you’ve got a Class 2 circuit between the ...
The drive to improve efficiency in low to medium power ac-dc mains power supplies is continuous. To address this, Power Integrations has introduced the InnoSwitch3 range of offline isolated ac-dc ...
