A Direct Current (DC) power supply is a power supply circuit that converts Alternating Current (AC) or DC input power to DC power.
A DC power supply with AC input is sometimes called an AC-DC converter or AC adapter, while a DC power supply with DC input is called a DC-DC converter.
When it is called a DC power supply, it often refers to a programmable DC power supply with AC input and variable output.

There are two types of regulated power supplies: series type and switching type.

In this section, the circuit of a series method regulated power supply is shown.
A three-terminal regulator is used to keep the voltage constant, but the excess voltage must be discarded as heat, and cooling by a heat sink is required.
