OK, I'm going to finish the power supply circuits section of the AAC book.
I'll be using the following outline as my guide. Out of respect for the previous authors I'll leave as much in as I can, but we have different writing styles, so there will be some changes.
1. Introduction
2. Unregulated
.a. Diodes and their characterstics (as applied to PS)
.b. Transformers, ratings and limitations
.c. Single Diode
.d. Dual Diode (CT Transformer)
.e. Diode Bridge
.f. ± Power Supplies
.g. Calculating Ripple
.h. Wall Warts
3. Linear Regulated
.a. Voltage
.. I. Protections
... a.Crowbar
... b. Foldback
... c. Current Limiting
.b. Current
.c. Tracking Power Supplies
4. Switching (SMPS)
.a. Ripple Regulated
.b. Buck
.c. Buck Boost
.d. SEPIC
e. Current vs. Voltage
I still don't understand where Tony was going with the ripple regulated. I'm merging it with the SMPS class, since I don't think it needs a separate designation.
Some SMPS will take rectified line voltage and use it straight. Most computer power supplies do this to a degree, transformers have weight. In the last year or so we have been cracking down on dangerous projects, such as LEDs being run off line current. This is the time for feedback on the issue, otherwise I will cover it as I see it.
