    34:13 Capacitor passes AC to ground and blocks DC keeping it at the side of input power line, not letting it to ground. This produces even DC voltage at power line. This is the best education channel on RUclips :)

    Great explanations. I've been in electronics since the mid 1960"s and have grown up with tubes, transistors, IC's, etc., etc., etc. BUT always the basics stay the same. Devices get smaller, power demands increase, but the theory (and physics) stays the same. It's not magic (usually). Keep it up! We are never to old to learn. We just need better eyes ;-). (You didn't explain that the "B" power term comes from using a "B" battery used in the 20's with the A, B and C battery radios.)

    Sorin you will have to correct it because not to confuse transistor opening with with a lock as it does here but it's understandable when you say open you mean is able to lead (Transition status) position of the switch (N.O) means normally open
    -you're doing a good job

    Hello Sorin
    Nice video and next time maybe explain what happens with the coil and how it generates the higher or lower voltage depending on the configuration and the smoothing capacitor after the coil. Actually I think you should start explaining the conversion from ac to dc with a full bridge and show the sinus and what the capacitor does to smooth the sinus to dc because it't easy to explain the role of the capacitor in this case so they can easier understand it's role in the switching power supply.
    Thank you and keep up the good work!

    Sorin,, i had been having alot of difficulty understanding the process as to how mosfet, and capasitors worked in a powersupply , being a dyi person without any formal training in electronics.. however when you expllained there function as a swithch along with how current flows as like am frequency,,,well another door opened in my understanding, now having looked up the parts of a mosfet and capasitor , i now understand how when one fails it stops the flow of curent and thus the next circuit has no power and thus the funcrion of the ..ummm..devise..stops.. i wish i had watched this before.. thank you for another step in my understanding..cheers

    Great job, just the open and closed explanation of the mosfets is inverted. By open you mean current is passing = closed switch. By common meaning, when we say open, means no current can pass through and closed means current will pass through.
    Thanks for your job.

  • @PerrynBecky
    @PerrynBecky 5 лет назад +3

    Hi Sorin, doesn't the current change at the power supply from A/C to DC in the power pack before the input jack on the laptop? If so, why does the power supply need to have a capacitor on the 19v rail after the input jack?
    This video is so fascinating, I'm having to rewatch it several times to comprehend it as my understanding of electronics of this kind is very elementary.
    Thanks for these lessons. You have a big heart. I wish you lived nearby, I would definitely volunteer my time to do things for you even if it was just to be a gopher as long as I could learn from you too. Plus, I would donate some of my laptop parts to you as well for your repairs.

    • @vlatkosurlan545
      @vlatkosurlan545 4 года назад +3

      Because the charger gives you a nice, pollished 19V at the input jack but after that, on the motherboard, there are many smaller buck converters which convert those 19V to 5V, 3.3V, 1V etc. The reason for the capacitors is that those small power supplies/buck converters located on the laptop motherboard itself reduce the voltage by generating a modulated pulse which also gives you a choppy signal at the output which looks like this: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/Duty_Cycle_Examples.png. So to get a normal, smooth signal which can be consumed by the motherboard you need to polish that pulse to get a steady voltage and that is achieved by those caps.This is what the caps do to the pulse: pcbheaven.com/wikipages/images/pwmmodulation_1236520415.jpg After that, the voltage is steady and ready for consumption.

  • @photoguytom
    @photoguytom 4 года назад

    Another way of explaining the use of caps and coils is by looking at what is called impedance. In both AC and DC a resistor drops voltage. The equivalent function of caps and coils in AC is called impedance. With caps, the impedance decreases the higher you go in frequency, with coils it is the opposite the impedance increases with higher frequencies. Caps pass high frequencies - in this case to ground, and coils restrict high frequencies, in this case from going further through the circuit. Also what can be mentioned is what a square wave is comprised of. When you create a square wave, it is actually comprised of the fundamental switching frequency, plus odd harmonics in decreasing amplitude. So in your explanation where you are switching the mosfets at 300Khz (the fundamental frequency), also present are the third harmonic or 3x the fundamental = 900Khz, 5x = 1500Khz, 7x - 2100Khz, 9 times or 2700 Khz, etc. all in decreasing magnitude. These are all radio frequencies. So the caps are there to remove the fundamental, as well as those harmonics, which can cause radio interference. They effectively "purify" the DC voltage that goes to the digital circuitry.

  • @TheBaregel
    @TheBaregel 5 лет назад

    sorin so what about the cases you short the I/O of mosfet together?
    that move will not abort all the mechanism of the frequency and the coil?

  • @GPSOMG-
    @GPSOMG- 5 лет назад +1

    I think what would help people out more who are learning, when your drawing schematics you could also have present capacitor , transistor etc (excetera) So people can relate to what you're talking about to the actual schematic and what the competitors MOSFET transistors look like just a thought? And I would like to say I also I'm learning from you thank you for your time.

      @sijmengrunbauer7697 4 года назад

      Yes, I agree. Sorin, when you were talking about the dual MOSFET TV power supply, I first thought that the supply line was mains voltage, and was confused about where the isolation was. If you had mentioned things like input voltages, it might have been clearer to me that this was a secondary power supply (at least that is what I now understand). Also, as an Australian, I would like to say, what a great video it was. I look forward to watching more of them.

    • @wisher21uk
      @wisher21uk 5 лет назад +1

      Noureddine Babah it’s all about how long it takes to charge fully example 10uf cap will charge quicker then a 1000uf if you’re replacing a capacitor you can go up voltage but not down so if you need 750uf 35v you could safely use a 750uf 50v or maybe a 800uf 50v the idea of going higher on voltage is that it can help them last longer because sometimes they put 15v caps on a 12 v line and with spikes and ripple it can go over the 15v so going over on voltage can be a good thing

    • @lpelectronics3747
      @lpelectronics3747 5 лет назад

      The answer is complicated. There is one more general term in electronic engineering. This term is electrical impedance. You have to have the same electrical impedance if you replace something with the impedance the designer calculated for the circuit. Impedance is directly related to capacity and the working frequency. Of course someone can take off of a power line a filtering capacitor without a lot of danger but only if there are more on this line not in any other case. So, generally speaking for repairs use same µF and same or higher voltage rating. Except if you are Sorin. :-)

    • @wisher21uk
      @wisher21uk 5 лет назад

      TheWertyu2007 a cap is for either timing or smoothing when he takes out a cap it’s more then likely for a bit of smoothing, electrolytic caps are tested by an ESR METER peak make one they are the bees knees, there measure the Uf and the resistance a cap can look good nice and flat on the top but it can be dried out and be low on the esr meter example 1000uf cap may only be 300uf and have instead of .4ohm resistance it has a 4 ohm resistance,.......diode mode is really good for finding shorts put the positive probe on ground then probe around with the positive probe it works and is the best way some people use ohms instead of diode mode
