Linear power supply

PRAYOG SYSTEMS

A simple ac powered linear power supply usually uses a transformer to convert the voltage from the wall outlet (mains) to a different, usually a lower voltage. if it is used to produce dc a rectifier circuit is employed either as a single chip, an array of diodes sometimes called a diode bridge or bridge rectifier, both for fullwave rectification or a single diode yielding a half wave (pulsating) output. more elaborate configurations rectify the ac voltage at first to pulsating dc. then a capaci...
