Power Supply

What is it?
Filtered DC voltage
A circuit in which ac power is converted to dc power

AC main supply Unregulated DC voltage Regulated DC Voltage

110/220 VAC

Voltage regulation
Another factor of importance in a power supply is the amount the DC output voltage
changes over a range of circuit operation.

That is, output voltage will decrease according to the amount of load given to it

Output voltage without any filter Filtered output voltage 5

Example of capacitor filter
As the ripple voltage is directly proportional to the load current,
the value of capacitor can be determined using the following :

RC filter

The ripple voltage can be reduced further by adding RC filter in parallel with capacitor filter.

AC Operation

It consists of AC and DC operations
