@@LearnElectronicsRepair Good explanation but would it be important to have two capacitors rather than one, and also is it really important to change the squar wave for a sinewave? Because the circuit get bigger and bigger and the purpose of it seems strange as the square wave can just as do the job???
@@DailymailnewzWell yes, it's important to have two capacitors. If you had only one capacitor, you would have no Junction between the two capacitors; and it's important to have the LLC circuit for more efficiency.

You have missed your calling, you should have been an instructor. You are to clever to be playing around with flea market old stuff. Your knowledge is immense and you put it over well.
In schools and universities, you have to follow study plans, deal with students who don't even want to be there. On RUclips, it's different. You were probably looking for a video on the topic of power supplies and you have an interest, and that's why you learn. And don't get me wrong, I also believe that the video's author has an incredible teaching ability.
Fan fook in fantastic! That was brilliant - I was losing it a bit up until the bell analogy came in - the summary brought it all into perspective. Lots learned - thanks very much - 40yrs guessing made easier watching this 👍
Your explanations are gold. The fact that you explain what happens to the wave while it passes through the components and why the components are where they are, makes all the difference. Cheers.
Since discovering your videos I can't seem to watch any other electronics repair guys, they bore me. I'm still learning and you're making it enjoyable.
Loved the bell . Always thought about the resonance but genius to think of the pendulum as a square wave . No matter how quickly or slowly you hit the bell with the pendulum, the bell still rings at its resonant frequency . Genius .
Thanks for another great vid. I'm an electrician with limited electronics knowledge (I dabble at fixing gear for myself, friends + family, mostly because I love fixing instead of replacing). I already knew a lot of what you explained but I still learned a lot. Every day's a school day. p.s. Parents: go easy on kids who take their toys apart - they may be studying electronics early but you don't realise it. :)
The LLC circuit explanation is great. I'd often wondered about that, as it seemed logical that sending an analogue device like a transformer a square wave would not be doing the system much good from a noise perspective. The bell analogy will stick in the head nicely, thanks!
As always, a video full of well dispensed knowledge. Side note : not all LLC circuits are resonant. They do transform square waves into sinusoidal waves but it is not what it is called resonance. In a LLC circuit and basically all RLC circuits, resonance occurs at a certain frequency. The phenomenon is a noticeable voltage therefore current increase in the circuit due to combined characteristics of all components. Often, accidental resonance means destruction of the circuit. The same phenomenon applies to physical oscillators. That's how wind or troops walking at pace can destroy bridges.
That makes sense to me now why the transistors went short on the other video when one of the filter caps was open circuit. Thank you for these videos it really does help me understand.
Thank you for explaining this along with the LLC part of it. I never quite understood the way it worked, but the way you explained it nicely. It smooths the sharp edges of the square wave.
Thanks so much Richard. You pretty much answered any questions I had. I have a few on the bench currently, an ATX psu from a customer computer that came in. swapped for a good one now I'll look at this one. I've got a bazillion of them here to play with.
I really enjoyed watching this video. So much so I'll be watching it again and maybe a third time. Your analogy with the bell was a good one. Brilliantly done. 😁😁
I learned a lot! I always thought transistors were low voltage devices. I can see now that I could fry my oscilloscope if I were to randomly probe transistors inside one of these supplies!
Be careful connecting your oscilloscope to the collector or drain of a FET switching transistor. I have done it but don't recommend it. Best to use a high voltage probe to prevent damage to your scope.
Addicted to your videos now, so glad I found this channel, I have learnt so much and find your description of circuits very clear and easy to understand. Thank you sir
Quite a good presentation. Liked the bell analogy. I'm honing my understanding of the functions of and the relationships between these components and the resulting outcome. With your help. I really appreciate it. Would it be I were just approaching career age level of life, but that is not the case. Strangely, I never feel like an 'old dog'. Never have felt fully 'grown up'. I suppose my inate sense of curiosity multiplied by a strong desire to understand things, (and then put that to use)divided by my age , in years√ has helped to learn new tricks, everyday, which we all know, an old dog cannot. There may be an algebraic formula in the preceding lines, and it may need to be revised, and I would absolutely and happily accept any input from you all out there in comment land. 👍
Brilliant job , one of your best yet. Thanks. So , if you did change the value of BOTH of the large caps to a lower capacitor value (not voltage rating) it would still work but at a lower max output .
You really do make a great teacher! Some of the others just run through everything g way to fast at least for me. Not enough time to think about what they are saying, but you are great!!! Thank you! I said this before but you should build a single to 3 phase converter. I think it would get a lot of views
Thank you for commenting and attaching this video, it's a new to me, but I've watched it. I mean the video :D cause I didn't have LIKE on it till now. But, I will use it for my apprentices and technicians as it's a GREAT resource for them to learn. Like a all in one :).
I am fixing an old Iwatsu scope's power supply and it has dual diodes for 12V, -12V and 5V rails and the anodes are actually connected together. And a single 4ns rectifier diode for the 54 volt rail. Not sure if it was done for added current handling, but the specs for rectifier diodes were hard to meet with newer components when I looked for replacements. The 54volt rail consumes the least current so they used an ultrafast 1 amp diode for it, but other rails are higher current. I ended up replacing the 1 amp diode that had burned with a 4 amp rated diode that had a matching forward voltage/current curve all the way to 1 amps. And I only found one that had matching speed, capacitance and forward voltage when I looked up from Mouser :)
a good video. Most of the power supplies I have worked on with 2 smoothing caps have either been as you describe here or they are 110 240 switchable or even autosensing using a thyristor between midpoint and bridge for 110 240 selection, of course, most modern PSU's have PFC so no need for the selection.
I was waiting for him explain the clever way of allowing a 120/240 voltage selector for free in the design as well. like this i.stack.imgur.com/1jiaD.png
Thank you again! I kind of got it, well I thought I got it, until it hit me... Why take an AC signal and convert it into DC, just to turn it back into AC? Seems like a waste of energy and components. Silly question? I'm really trying to understand this, and your help is invaluable.
Not a silly question actually. So the mains is AC but a high voltage. We need a low voltage DC. Yeah you are correct in wondering about this, because in many cases the power supply has active PFC, which basically does the conversion 240C AC --> 380-400V DC --> low voltage AC --> low voltage DC. I'll think about how best to explain this but the answer is most probably it is the most efficient way to do it.
@@LearnElectronicsRepair I think the easiest way is to say that for higher power applications it's much more efficient, much smaller and much less expensive than a linear transformer PSU at 50/60Hz - DC is required so it can be 'chopped up' into a much higher frequency AC which can work with relatively tiny transformers, the main downside being noise. Probably not the best explanation but it's what's in my head :)
@@LearnElectronicsRepair But I'm referring to the pulsed DC on the high voltage side, at timestamp 28:00. So, with the answer from @budgiefish, it means that the sole purpose is to speed up the frequency?
Why rectify the AC, only to convert to +/- square wave to put through a transformer? Why not stick the AC straight into the transformer to derive the lower voltage rails, then rectify only on the secondary sides? Especially if sine waves are more efficient at driving transformers than square waves? Just discovered your channel -- you're the first person I've seen explain ATX power supply topologies in this much detail. Thank you!
im sorry, in respect to your knowlage of electronics love your work (1) {12:45}' neutral is zero ' my understanding any A.C. current is ( positive is above zero & negitive is below) though we do see it in a way it apears to flip over, (2) i had this problem myself with R.F. high frequency a.c. ...ground, neutral, earth, ..and i will say thank you for sharing you knowlage with us cheers
Nice explanation Richard but I am a bit confused about the negative voltage pulses you have drawn on the first full wave bridge rectifier.... I believe that line would be a steady 0V .... Subbed and liked..👍
That's actually a good catch. I suppose if you used the mains neutral as your reference you'd see negative pulses on the DC ground but I'd expect it to be a half wave instead of the rectified wave as drawn.
@fixfaxerify Intentional. In this circuit the transistors are almost always BJT. In fact I've never seen ATX use mosfet here, though the 5V STB supply is usually mosfet driven
I'm the first time on this channel and the explanation was excellent. Was wondering for a while how these power supply work. Also what I would like to know is how the driving square wave selected? Why is it in MHz range? Does the frequency of the square wave changes based on load, if so, how is the load balanced on different voltage taps (3.3V, 5V, 12V) ?
Its true to say the transistors are driven in antiphase but you have to remember that there needs to dead time where they are both off. As any overlap In the switching pulses will short the power rail out.
True - but luckily the SMPS controller chip is working it out for us ! This deadtime ensures the one transistor is completely off before the other one is on. The controller always put in some 4% dead time minimum, but it can be adjusted on a dedicated function pin. This is by the way used as an extreme start up condition using a capacitor on this pin, which makes for a long dead time (pause) at initial startup. Also called a softstart, as the transistors are only briefly turned on for the first few cycles.
Hi I have been watching you for awhile. I love your informative videos. Power Circuits are my favorites. You may have already answered the question. But what happens to the Drive Transistors if the neutral side is not connected? Does the High side MOSFET get the entire 320V load?
Great video! a very clear explanation. I have a question, If one of the main capacitors are blown, is it necesary to replace it with exactly the same capacitance? What would happend if I use a 330μf along the other 470 μf? Will it shorten one of the square wave cicles? If so, how would that propagate?, Will it be hard on the 12v and 5v capacitors? or Will it affect the duty cycle?
@@gatheesha22 I have spent a good hour on that psu. The end result having missmatched caps was pulsed 12v rail, and a lot of inestability. I would love to have an explanation on the topic. best regards
