The proposed compact the power supply unit (PSU) is installed in the integrated circuit L4960 company SGS-Thomson Microelectronics, representing an adjustable switching regulator DC voltage, which provides output current up to 2.5 A at an output voltage of 5...40 V IC has built-in protection against over temperature, over current and short circuit in the load circuit. This unit is designed to power various electronic devices that consume power up to 25 watts.

Schematic diagram of the device represented in Fig. 1. Mains voltage 220 through the fusible fuse FU1, contacts switch SA1 and noise filter comes C4L1L2C5 to the primary winding of the step-down transformer T1, the Switch SA1 is built-in indicator - discharge lamp. The resistor R1 extends the lamp life of the switch and reduces it to heat up.

The voltage of the secondary winding of the transformer via resettable fuse FU2 comes on the bridge rectifier diodes Schottky VD4-VD7. Application such diodes reduces the power loss in the rectifier and, accordingly, the heating its elements, as well as approximately 1 In rectified voltage increases on the capacitor filter C3. Resetable fuse FU2 protects the transformer from overload fault rectifier circuits DA1, and if the "errors" this protection systems.

System overload some integral switching regulator, for example, LM2575T, LM2576T may fail if as a load is connected powerful constant current generator or other switching regulator of comparable capacity. Varistor RU1 protects network the transformer and the rectifier diodes from surges and surge network voltage. Output voltage adjust variable resistor R5 in the interval from 5 to 18 V. Upper circuit position of the slider of the variable resistor corresponds to the minimum output voltage.

Operating frequency of the chip DA1 about 95 kHz. The shape of the voltage at circuit output (pin 7) rectangular, the duty cycle depends on the output, input voltage and load current. Resistor R6 and diode VD1 protect the chip from damage, for example, when making a sharp turn engine AC resistor R5 or connected to the output of the PSU charged capacitor of a large capacitance. In case of overload the output of the regulator is built in to the chip protection disables the output voltage and after about 0.5 s is trying to start again.

The inductor L3 is cumulative. Two-tier filter C9-C12L4C17-C19L5C20-C22 reduces the ripple of the output stabilized voltage. The oxide capacitor S9 for high-current high-frequency fluctuations have increased the risk of degradation, so he shunted ceramic capacitors C10-C12 Similar solution applies to the oxide capacitor C3.

Relay K1 includes the power led when HL3 the load current is more than 1 A. This allows you to quickly track increased power consumption, for example, USC in silent mode. The current release of the relay contacts is about 0.6 A. the relay Coil K1 also included with the filter.

On the microammeter RA1, the Zener diode VD8 and resistors R10, R11 performed voltmeter, which measures the output voltage of the power supply. The Zener diode VD8 and resistor R11 provides a "stretch" of the instrument scale PA1.

When the closed contacts of the switch SA2 protection of the load and the stabilizer thanks to integrated sites circuits DA1, and in the event of its failure - a self-restoring fuse FU2. Resetable fuse FU3 on current of 0.75 And is designed to protect sites of low-power loads. The switch allows SA3 to quickly disconnect the load from the power supply and thereby reduce the chance of damage powered equipment.

LEDs HL1, HL2 highlight the scale of the instrument RA1. The led indicates HL4 the presence of voltage at the output of the stabilizer DA1, a HL5 - presence the voltage across the load.

The PSU is mounted in the metal casing dimensions 178x160x49 mm imported from the old receiver. The body is pre-painted black automotive lacquer BT-577 and subjected to drying, first for 12 h at room temperature, then twice for 40 min at 180°C and another 12 h at room temperature. This mode prevents the appearance of bubbles on the surface. Drying painted casing only at room temperature may take six months. Before painting in the bottom and side walls of the body drill 100 200...vent holes of diameter 3 mm.
