- Examine the schematic drawings listed below. Then, we will
- discuss each type in detail as HAM BONE proceeds through
- this chapter.
-
- In all schematics, the following component references
- are as follows:
- * d1 to d4 - 2A 1000 PIV rectifiers (diodes)
- * Filter Capacitors - 3300 MF @ 25 VDC

- As you can see, there are a lot of similarities between the
- 3 examples. But, there are very important differences in
- each of them. It all has to do with the way electrons are
- directed (the actual direction of flow) in the device that
- you build.
-
- Some electronic devices that operate on DC current handle a
- very IMPURE form of DIRECT CURRENT (dc) yet others require
- extremely stable and clean DC supply voltages. Therefore,
- we can design a power supply that meets our requirements.
- Simple is cheap. But, simple may not work.
-
- An LED, for example will glow and a toy motor will run on
- "not so clean" DC. However, a computer must have a very
- stable and precisely filtered supply of DC, either from a
- battery, or a fully regulated power supply. If it doesn't,
- IC Chips start going haywire and things, you don't want to
- think about, can happen.
-
- Before we get into how the electrons flow through the
- diodes and filters, let's see how a power supply might do
- us some good. Suppose that you got an old CB radio at a
- garage sale for $2.00 and wanted to hook it up on your work
- bench to play with. Instead of running a wire from your car
- battery to your bench, why not build a $5.00 power supply
- that you can use to power many auto radios, ham radios and
- even small TVs.
-
- Integrated circuits (linear IC's) have been designed to
- provide for very stable DC voltage regulation. If you are
- going to be powering devices that require precision voltage
- and current regulation, then simply insert one or more of
- these "chips" into the DC output of the BRIDGE diode
- schematic.
-
- The example schematic #3 - FULL WAVE BRIDGE power supply
- comes very close to providing everything you need to build
- your new testbench workhorse. And, you can build your own
- for about 1/3 of what an off-the-shelf unit would cost. It
- might not be as pretty, but you can make it yourself.
