DESIGNING A D.C.

POWER SUPPLY

# D.C. POWER SUPPLIES ARE NEEDED FOR THE OPERATION OF ALMOST ALL THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS. # IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING AN ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DEVELOPE A SUITABLE D.C. POWER SUPPLY ALSO

D.C. POWER SUPPLIES CAN BE UN-REGULATED OR CAN BE REGULATED DEPENDING UPON THE REQUIREMENT OF THE CIRCUIT FOR WHICH YOU NEED THEM

UNREGULATED POWER SUPPLIES CAN BE USED WHEN THE FLUCTUATIONS IN THE VOLTAGE ARE ACCEPTABLE.

EXAMPLES # COMMERCIAL AUDIO AMPLIFIERS # ELECTRO MAGNETIC RELAYS

# MOTORS ( WHEN SPEED IS NOT IMPORTANT)

REGULATED POWER SUPPLIES ARE NECESSARY IF THE FLUCTUATIONS IN THE DC VOLTAGE ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE

UNREGULATED POWER SUPPLIES ARE CHEAPER
