Linear Power Supplies
Linear power supplies are electrical components that provide a stable and regulated voltage output to electronic devices and circuits by converting an AC input voltage into a DC output voltage through a transformer, rectifier, and voltage regulator. They are widely used in various applications due to their low output noise, excellent load and line regulation, and high stability, but are less energy-efficient compared to switch-mode power supplies. The selection of a linear power supply should consider factors such as input voltage range, output voltage and current ratings, load and line regulation, and thermal management.
