It is a simple matter to say and build a power supply to furnish the required voltage and current. But it comes down to actually building the power supply it isn t as easy as you might imagine without some sort of guidance unless. Unless you are an electronic engineer with a warehouse of parts at your disposal.Well the guidance is here in these 420 pages of The Handbook of Power Supplies. This is a collection of every conceivable type of power supply for the electronic hobbyist Ham (Licensed Amateur Radio Operator) experimenter engineer technician CBer and the do-it-yourselfer. Be it a lab supply inverter or a special type you can build it from scratch with he compiled here.With the onset of home computers in kit form and the like this book takes on even more significance. The mini-brains require power supplies of special caliber to protect the microprocessors and other logic circuits from damage. Many of these aspects of power supply selection are covered in Chapter 1.Regulated low-voltage power supplies are far the most often used in today s solid-state circuitry. Chapter 2 covers a multitude of this type of supply. You ll find regulated supplies from 0.35 V on up to 50V in this chapter.There s going to be a case when you find a power supply that fits your requirements in every way except one minor detail and that is the purpose of Chapter 3. This chapter is a collection of mostly add-on gadgets that can be attached to existing power supply a voltage splitter for an example.Although it seems as though vacuum tubes have almost disappeared there s a lot of equipment floating around that rely on them. And these pieces of equipment also require power supplies but they need higher voltages that our common regulated low-voltage power supplies of Chapter 2 deliver. One of these babies delivers 3000V Chapters 5 6 and 7 covers inverters AC-to-DC converters and DC-to-DC converters respectively. Battery chargers another type are the subject of Chapter 8 including special types for silver-zinc and gelled cells. . Sensing circuits both voltage and current are covered in Chapter 10. A final chapter deals with special purpose AC supplies AC supplies. Whatever the application you will have no trouble finding or designing a power supply with the wealth of know how contained on the following pages.
