Power High Performance UPS With 8A Switcher Circuit

Saturday, February 13th, 2010



All high-current switchers are sensitive to board layout; take care when designing the pc board. You’ll obtain the best results by using a multilayer board, so you can dedicate a single layer to ground plane. You should tie the “power” components (C1, C2, C16, D2, C12, C13, C14) directly to this ground plane and group [...]

Computer Power Supply

Monday, January 25th, 2010



The power supply converts the alternating current (AC) line from your home to the direct current (DC) needed by the personal computer. In a personal computer (PC), the power supply is the metal box usually found in a corner of the case. The power supply is visible from the back of many systems because it [...]

DC-DC Converter 5V by LM2576

Sunday, December 27th, 2009



A DC-DC converter or another name known as buck regulator or switching regulator (because the input voltage can be either above or below the desired voltage output), provides stable regulated output voltage to supply electronic circuits.
LM2576 converter circuits perform same function as the commonly known voltage regulator LM7805 from National Semiconductor. The 7805 voltage regulator [...]
