2. Power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

   A modern computer power supply is a switch-mode power supply that converts AC power from the mains supply, to several DC voltages. Switch-mode supplies replaced linear supplies due to cost, weight, efficiency and size improvements. The diverse collection of output voltages also have widely varying current draw requirements.

3. Regulated power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulated_power_supply

   A regulated power supply is an embedded circuit; it converts unregulated AC (alternating current) into a constant DC. With the help of a rectifier it converts AC supply into DC. Its function is to supply a stable voltage (or less often current), to a circuit or device that must be operated within certain power supply limits.

4. Direct current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current

   Direct current (DC) (red line). The vertical axis shows current or voltage and the horizontal 't' axis measures time and shows the zero value. Direct current (DC) is one-directional flow of electric charge. An electrochemical cell is a prime example of DC power.

5. Glossary of power electronics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_power_electronics

   The behavior of a stabilized power supply that automatically converts the mode of operation from voltage stabilization to current stabilization when the output current reaches a preset value, and vice versa. continuous flow (of direct current) A flow of direct current which is not periodically interrupted. conversion factor (in general) The ...

6. Voltage regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulator

   The power supply is designed to only supply a maximum amount of current that is within the safe operating capability of the shunt regulating device. If the stabilizer must provide more power, the shunt output is only used to provide the standard voltage reference for the electronic device, known as the voltage stabilizer.

7. DC connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_connector

   Some common DC power connectors. A DC connector (or DC plug, for one common type) is an electrical connector that supplies direct current (DC) power. Compared to domestic AC power plugs and sockets, DC connectors have many more standard types that are not interchangeable. The dimensions and arrangement of DC connectors can be chosen to prevent ...
