AC Power Supply for Microcontroller-Based Fan Speed Controller

AC Power Supply for Microcontroller-Based Fan Speed Controller

The microcontroller requires 2 to 5.5V DC power supply, which can be easily provided by batteries or auxiliary power sources. However, in some cases, microcontroller-based products must operate directly from 120 or 220V AC power outlets without using a step-down transformer or resistive voltage drop. Additionally, polyester/ polypropylene film capacitors rated for AC power can … Read more
