We’ve seen lots of power supply projects that start with an ATX PC power supply. Why not? They are cheap and readily available. Generally, they perform well and have a good deal of possible output.

Power factor (pf) is the ratio between real power (P) flowing to the load, and the apparent power (S) in the circuit: pf = P/S. It is a sinusoidal waveform and therefore expressed as a dimensionless ...

Soft-recovery diodes greatly reduce EMI. Switching power supplies have become the norm in almost all electronic systems. The switchers' excellent line and load regulation, high conversion efficiency, ...

There are certain compromises that come with building a compact PC, but power does not have to be one of them. Proving so, Silverstone's new SX1000 dishes up 1,000W of power in a package that fits ...
