hardware

AC to DC Power Supply

A system that converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).

Input Rectifier

A component that converts AC input into DC for further processing.

Filter

A device that smooths out the rectified DC voltage to reduce ripple.

Inverter

A circuit that switches the DC input on and off at high frequencies to create AC voltage.

MOSFET

A type of switching device used in the inverter to control the flow of electricity.

Transformer

A device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.

Output Rectifier

A component that converts the AC output from the transformer back into DC.

Feedback Circuit

A system that monitors the output voltage and provides information to the control circuit.

Control Circuit

A mechanism that adjusts the duty cycle based on feedback to maintain the desired output voltage.

Duty Cycle

The ratio of the time the inverter is on to the total time of the cycle, which affects the output voltage level.
