About Computer Power Supplies

Computer power supplies convert alternating current (AC) line to direct current (DC) line, needed by the computer. Power supply style, DC output, AC input, features, and environmental parameters are all important specifications to consider when searching for computer power supplies.


Products & Services Related to Computer Power Supplies
AC Power Sources
AC power sources provide alternating power and typically have adjustable output values for the testing of component response at various voltage, current and frequency levels.
Current Sources
Current sources provide reliable current for electrical component testing and for powering specialized components.
DC Power Supplies
DC power supplies accept an input power and output the desired form of DC power. Common types of DC power supplies include linear power supplies, switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, and silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) type power supplies.
DC-AC Inverters
DC to AC inverters are used for converting direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). They are also known as DC to AC converters.
DC-DC Converters
DC-DC converters accept DC input and provide regulated and/or isolated DC output in various applications including computer flash memory, telecommunications equipment, and process control systems.
Power Supplies
Power supplies are devices that produce AC or DC power.  This grouping includes current sources, DC power supplies, AC-DC adapters, DC-DC converters, AC power sources, and DC-AC inverters.
RF Generators
RF generators and high frequency power supplies provide the power required for plasma generation, induction heating, and radar or communications applications.
