2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 78xx - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/78xx

   The 7805 is the most common, as its regulated 5-volt supply provides a convenient power source for most TTL components. Less common are lower-power versions such as the LM78Mxx series (500 mA) and LM78Lxx series (100 mA) from National Semiconductor.

6. Buck converter - Wikipedia

   Switch-Mode Power Supply Tutorial - Detailed article on DC-DC converters which gives a more formal and detailed analysis of the Buck including the effects of non-ideal switching (but, note that the diagram of the buck-boost converter fails to account for the inversion of the polarity of the voltage between input and output).

7. Switched-mode power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply

   An SMPS designed for AC input can usually be run from a DC supply, because the DC would pass through the rectifier unchanged. [35] If the power supply is designed for 115 VAC and has no voltage selector switch, the required DC voltage would be 163 VDC (115 × √2). This type of use may be harmful to the rectifier stage, however, as it will ...
