Power supplies are a frequently misunderstood—and overlooked—PC component. Many users choose a PC power supply based on total wattage alone, assuming that higher is always synonymous with better.

This document is a design example report of a 255 W 80 PLUS Platinum PC power supply employing HiperPFS™-2 PFS7328H and HiperLCS™ LCS703HG. It has integrated PFC stage using PFS7328H from HiperPFS-2 ...

Most computer builders in the world think I'm nuts for endorsing the use of 330 watt power supplies for a high-end performance computer. Conventional "wisdom" says that anything under 500 watts is ...

Useful for electronics hobbyists, this linear workbench desktop power supply circuit converts a high input voltage (12V) from the SMPS of a PC into low output voltage (1.25 to 9 volts). An adjustable ...

Though people rarely think too much about their computer power supplies, it plays the most vital role in day-to-day operation. Power supplies are generically rated by the amount of wattage they can ...
