Overview:
is a component that supplies power to at least one electric load. Typically, it converts one
type of electrical power to another, but it may also convert a different form of energy - such
as solar, mechanical, or chemical - into electrical energy. A power supply provides
components with electric power.
Switching
In direct current (DC), the electric charge (current) only flows in one direction.
Electric charge in alternating current (AC), on the other hand, changes direction
periodically. The voltage in AC circuits also periodically reverses because the
current changes direction.
Most of the digital electronics that you build will use DC. However, it is important
to understand some AC concepts. Most homes are wired for AC, so if you plan to
connect your appliances to an outlet, you will need to convert AC to DC. AC also
has some useful properties, such as being able to convert voltage levels with a
single component (a transformer), which is why AC was chosen as the primary
means to transmit electricity over long distances.
Making your own power supply is one of the activities that you’ll do in electronics. There
are a few basic skills that you have to learn.
1. You need to be familiar with the schematic symbols. (refer to your assignment)
2. How to read a schematic diagram. (watch the video on reading schematic diagrams)
3. Make a PCB layout (use PCB designer 1.54)
4. Etch a PCB (watch the video on how to etch a PCB)
5. Soldering
