Operation LPS
Uses

a transformer to convert the voltage

to a lower voltage.
A rectifier is used to produce DC.
Capacitor is used to smooth the pulsating
current from the rectifier.
Some small periodic deviations from
smooth direct current will remain, which is
known as ripple.

Operation SMPS

The AC input is rectified and filtered to give a

steady DC voltage.
This DC input to the voltage switching block is
either blocked or allowed to pass through
depending on the state of the switch.
The resultant waveform which is a square
wave is rectified and filtered (This waveform is
sampled).
If the current required at the load is high, then
the switching control ensures that the voltage
switch is on for longer periods

1.1.3-Power Supply

Operation SMPS

The sampling is done by a comparator and

DC amplifier along with a DC reference.
The output voltage is compared with a DC
reference.
If the output voltage reduces due to increase
in load current, the comparator sends a
positive signal to the pulse width modulator
and increase the on time of the pulse.

1.1.3-Power Supply

AT Power Connector

Two main power connectors (P8 and P9, also

called P1 and P2), each with six pins that
attach the power supply to the motherboard.
These are rated at 5A per pin, at up to 250V.
P8 and P9 connectors have them installed
end to end so that the two black wires on
both power cables are next to each other.

ATX Main Power Connector

The

industry-standard ATX power supplyto-motherboard main connector is the

Molex Mini-Fit, Jr. connector number 3929-9202 (20 pins ATX connector).
Molex rates each pin to handle 6A, at up
to 600V.
