AC DC Converters

An AC-DC converter is a transformer that converts alternating current (AC) electricity to direct current (DC) electricity. It is also known as an AC-DC power supply, AC-DC adaptor or simply a power adapter. AC-DC converters are designed to deliver a specific DC voltage, such as a laptop requiring a 12V DC output, or to provide a range of output levels, such as a variable DC power supply. In order to safely and efficiently convert AC to DC, most AC-DC converters have certain components in common. These components include a transformer, rectifying diodes, a smoothing capacitor, and a voltage regulator.

PBA30F-24-CTN Application Field and Working Principle

The PBA30F-24-CTN is an AC-DC converter that offers an output of 30W and a single, adjustable output voltage of 12-24V DC. It is designed to allow universal input voltage of 90-264V AC, and features a compact design for easy integration into existing applications. It is UL/CUL/CE certified to ensure safety and reliability, and meets high efficiency requirements to minimize power loss. Additionally, the PBA30F-24-CTN features PFC (Power Factor Correction) to accurately control and regulate the input AC power to ensure safe and reliable operation.

The working principle of an AC-DC converter is simple. AC power is fed into the transformer through an input line, and the transformer steps down the voltage to the required level for the specific application. This signal is then rectified by a diode bridge, which converts the AC power to DC power. The dc voltage is then smoothed out by a capacitor, which eliminates ripples in the output current. Finally, the voltage regulator is used to regulate the DC voltage to the required level for the application.
