Elenos Power Supplies
We consider in this article a functional block of extreme importance for Elenos equipment: switching power supplies.
The majority of electronic equipment, in fact, requires a regulated voltage, which can be provided precisely by the stabilized power supplies.
There are 3 types of stabilized power supplies: parallel, series and switching.
The first two are called “linear”, because the stabilization is generated by an element (variable resistor) that, placed between the source and the load, maintains constant voltage, changing linearly its value.
Switching power supplies, however, are divided into CC/CC converters and inverters CC/CA.
They are an updated version of the “vibrator” used many years ago to feed the car radio, where contacts were replaced by modern solid-state devices.
