APPLICATION NOTE POWER SUPPLY DESIGN BASICS by P. ANTONIAZZI Aimed at system designers whose interest focusses on other fields‚ this note reviews the basic power supply design knowhow assumed in the rest of the book. In mains-supplied electronic systems the AC input voltage must be converted into a DC voltage with the right value and degree of stabilization. Figures 1 and 2 show the simplest rectifier circuits. In these basic configurations the peak voltage across the load is equal to the peak
