Stabilized DC Power Supply
Description: A stabilized DC power supply provides a constant and regulated DC voltage regardless of load variations or input fluctuations.
- Input: AC (e.g., 110V/230V) or unregulated DC
- Output: Regulated DC (e.g., 5V, 12V, adjustable)
- Key Components:
- Transformer (for AC input)
- Rectifier (e.g., bridge rectifier)
- Filter capacitor
- Voltage regulator (e.g., LM7805, LM317)
- Applications: Microcontrollers, sensors, lab equipment
- Features: Low ripple, overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown
Note: Use heat sinks for linear regulators under high load.
