DC power supplies accept an input power and output the desired form of DC power. Common types of DC power supplies include linear power supplies, switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, and silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) type power supplies

Power supplies are devices that produce AC or DC power.  This grouping includes current sources, DC power supplies, AC-DC adapters, DC-DC converters, AC power sources, and DC-AC inverters

Three phase uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are devices that operate in conjunction with existing electrical systems to provide power conditioning, back-up protection and distribution for electronic equipment loads

IC switching voltage regulators are integrated circuits (ICs) that store energy in an inductor, transformer, or capacitor and then use this storage device to transfer energy from the input to the output in discrete packets over a low-resistance switch

High voltage power supplies use linear technology to provide one or more DC outputs at voltage levels of hundreds or thousands of volts

Medical power supplies produce conditioned outputs for medical devices, instruments, and equipment

Computer power supplies convert alternating current (AC) line to direct current (DC) line, needed by the computer

Programmable power supplies are digitally controlled power sources that provide accurate and adjustable levels of voltage, current, and frequency. They include a processor, voltage/current programming circuits, current shunt, and voltage/current read-back circuits

Power distribution units (PDUs) have an electrical input and several outputs, often as electrical outlets, for powering multiple devices. 

Fiber optic switches route an optical signal without electro-optical and opto-electrical conversions.

IC power supplies are manufactured as integrated circuits

Circuit protection devices are used to protect electronic components from unwanted transients such as current and voltage surges, electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning, spikes and other signals that can imperil the operation or damage the component

AC power sources provide alternating power and typically have adjustable output values for the testing of component response at various voltage, current and frequency levels

KVA meters measure the apparent power of AC devices in kilovolt-amperes (KVA). Apparent power is the combination of a circuit’s true power and reactive power

Switch mode transformers (switching transformers) are used mainly in switching power supplies and DC-DC converters. They provide a storage element for transferring energy from input to output in discrete packets as required in switching power supplies, regulators and converters
