Troubleshooting linear power supply
was fairly easy as compare to switch mode power supplies (SMPS). AC voltage
enters to the main side of linear transformer and then improved the AC into a
lower or higher AC voltage depending on the secondary winding. The output AC voltage
is then rectified and cleans by a diode and capacitors to make a clean DC
voltage. If there is a trouble in the linear transformer circuit, I can say
that it is very easy to locate the responsibility. This is somehow special in
the case of a switch mode power supply. The designs were thorny and a little
technicians establish it quite hard to fully recognize how the switch mode
power supplies occupation.
The effective attitude of switch
mode power transport is dissimilar from the linear category. First the AC liveliness
will current to a complete signal rectifier (bridge rectifier) which produce an
potholed DC output and then drinkable by a large capacitor (typically 220 micro
farad and up to 450 volts). The unsoiled DC power will then flows to start up
resistors and to the contribution of control mode power transformer. Once the current
passed throughout the high ohms resistor (start up resistors) the voltage would
drop to a value where it then flows to the VCC supply pin of Pulse width intonation
IC.
Some time ago the PWM IC customary
the power it will output a indicator to compel the transistor (or FET) and
produces a altering in captivating field in the transformer principal meandering.
The altering compelling field induces power in the inferior windings. Each of
these AC power fashioned by the secondary windings is then rectify, drinkable,
and keeping up to construct a clean DC current. One of the focal DC output power
is the B+ that deliver to flyback transformer (for TV and Monitor Circuit).
