Brief Description about Power Supply Designs and How They Operates?
The
performance of each and every electronic system or electronic circuit depends
upon the power supply design that energizes the circuit or system. It provides required
current to the circuit. Any disturbance noise in this power supply design can
cause problem in working or operation of circuit. If there is any deviation in
the power supply design level, the circuit may not work properly. The accuracy
and precision of circuit operation depends on it. In some of the circuits all
the calibration are done at this voltage level. So, all these calibrations become
false if there is fluctuation in supply level.
There
are two types of power supplies named as unregulated power supply and regulated
power supply. The unregulated power supply designed units are used in some
circuits where there is no much change in require load current. The load
current remains fixed or deviation is very less because in such supply the
output voltage reduces as load current increases and the ripple in output
voltage increases as load current increases.
So
this kind of supply can’t be used where there is noticeable change in load
current frequently. But although many circuits works on unregulated supply
because it requires very few components and design is also very simple. Also
some fluctuation in supply level can be tolerated due to load current change.
The regulated power supply is required in digital circuits, the circuits in
which the components can’t tolerate even 1% change in supply level like micro
controller, micro processor etc.
Whether
it’s an electronic noob or an expert engineer, all require this indispensable
piece of equipment called the power supply unit. This is because no electronics
can run without power, to be precise a low voltage DC power, and a power supply
unit is a device which is specifically meant for fulfilling this purpose. The
power supply design circuit will vary from simplest to the most complex
depending on the necessity.
