How to convert alternating current to direct current? In other words, what is the easiest way to output the 220v alternating current of the general household circuit as direct current?
Thanks!
Hello,
A power supply will convert the 220VAC of the general household to a DC level that is appropriate for your devices.
A basic power supply design consists of:
Rectifier and input filter - this will convert the AC voltage to DC voltage
DC to DC converter - this stage will step-up or step-down DC voltage depending on the required specifications of your load.
Thank you.
