Figure 5–3: Power Supply Block Diagram
Single-phase AC line voltage is applied to the power supply module through a
power plug with internal EMI filter. The filtered line voltage is immediately fused,
routed through a line selector switch and applied to a stepdown transformer. The
transformer secondary voltage is rectified and power switched to power the post
regulator.
