A system that converts AC current from the wall outlet into the DC currents required by electronic circuits. A computer power supply converts AC into multiple DC voltages. For example, 12 volts is ...

The power supply unit (PSU) is one of the PC components that we tend to take for granted. It sits in the case with a bunch of wires sticking out of it, and maybe once in a while we blow some air blown ...

The use of a Standby Voltage on computer power supplies became widespread when the ATX specification was published in 1995. It enables a computer to be put into a low power consumption mode without ...

The PC power supply has been a standard of the junk box for the last couple of decades, and will probably continue to be for the foreseeable future. A product that is often built to a very high ...

<long version><BR>Most components in my system are just over 3 years old. I bought an Antec True430 from NewEgg and it was around for about a year before I RMA'd it because the voltage on the +5V line ...

The circuit of power supply for PC works with a mains voltage of 230VAC to produce an output of 13.8V at 5A due to rectification. This project came upon the modification of a PC switch mode power ...

Any PC enthusiast is quite familiar with the name PC Power & Cooling. Ever since the company's inception in 1985, the name has been synonymous with quiet computing and shortly thereafter high-quality ...

A power supply for electronic devices. Also called an "AC adapter" or "charger," power adapters plug into a wall outlet and convert AC to a single DC voltage. Computers use multiple DC voltages, and ...

We don’t often talk about power supplies, but Intel’s new ATX12VO spec—that’s an ‘O’ for ‘Oscar,’ not a zero—will start appearing soon in pre-built PCs from OEMs and system integrators, and it ...

Adopting active PFC for harmonic-reduction while making other architectural- and component-level improvements can cost-effectively reduce losses in ATX power supplies. ATX power supplies — the generic ...
