A system that converts AC current from the wall outlet into the DC currents required by electronic circuits. A computer power supply converts AC into multiple DC voltages. For example, 12 volts is ...

The venerable ATX standard was developed in 1995 by Intel, as an attempt to standardize what had until then been a PC ecosystem formed around the IBM AT PC’s legacy. The preceding AT form factor was ...

The use of a Standby Voltage on computer power supplies became widespread when the ATX specification was published in 1995. It enables a computer to be put into a low power consumption mode without ...

Economy of scale is a wonderful thing, take the switch-mode power supply as an example. Before the rise of the PC, a decent multi-voltage, high current power supply would be pretty expensive. But PCs ...

The circuit of power supply for PC works with a mains voltage of 230VAC to produce an output of 13.8V at 5A due to rectification. This project came upon the modification of a PC switch mode power ...

Your PC needs clean power to perform at its best and remain stable. You don't skimp on your other components - don't skimp on the power supply. CPUs and GPUs may be the beating heart of a gaming PC, ...

A power supply for electronic devices. Also called an "AC adapter" or "charger," power adapters plug into a wall outlet and convert AC to a single DC voltage. Computers use multiple DC voltages, and ...

<long version><BR>Most components in my system are just over 3 years old. I bought an Antec True430 from NewEgg and it was around for about a year before I RMA'd it because the voltage on the +5V line ...

Of all the components in your PC, the one that gets the least attention is your power supply. You can carry it over from build to build, and as long as it boots and your PC doesn’t catch itself on ...

isn't the output of a pc's power supply exclusively DC?<P>If no, ignore the rest of this.<P>If yes, here is my thought, an UPS converts AC to DC to store in a battery, then converts DC back to AC to ...
