This PowerPoint presentation, provided by eSyst: Tools for Electronics Education, discusses how every piece of electronic equipment has a power supply and that power supply is a key sub-system in every other product or system. Typical examples are given in block diagram form. All major components and circuits are identified and explained.Presentation learning outcomes include: define power supply, name the main components in a common linear AC to DC power supply and explain the purpose and function of each, Define rectifier and name two common types, name the component that transforms pulsating DC into constant DC, and define ripple and identify its origins.Â
