How does a DC power supply work?

common problems 3880

A DC power supply converts alternating current (AC) electricity to DC electricity either by a linear method or by a switching method. Switching power supplies are more efficient, lighter in weight and smaller in form factor. Linear power supplies can achieve lower noise, but this is no longer an advantage with modern switching power supplies.

  • What is an AC power supply?

    636

    An AC power supply is responsible for providing AC power to the load. The power input can be either AC or DC. You need an AC power supply because the power from the wall outlet does not meet the specifications of the load. In order for the load to operate properly, you need to transform the AC power supply to tune the AC power from the supply to the voltage, current, and frequency required by the device. This can be done by boosting...

  • What is IQ modulation?

    358

    In-phase quadrature modulation (IQ modulation) is the main modulation scheme used in communication applications. It is popular because of its efficient use of bandwidth, meeting the increasingly urgent need for bandwidth in a world where data volumes are growing exponentially. It is important to test with simulated IQ signals because designers are always faced with a lack of bandwidth in an interference-ridden spectrum. Example...

  • What is the difference between a DC power supply and an AC power supply?

    476

    Alternating current is suitable for transmission and distribution of electricity over long distances through the grid system. Direct current is a one-way flow of charge and is more reliable than alternating current, but is not suitable for long-distance transmission. Most electronic devices use DC because their voltage is constant, such as devices powered by batteries. Some devices also use rectifiers to convert AC to DC. Power supplies usually have an internal...
