      120V AC go through the transformer in order to step down the voltage then it go to the 4 diodes which we call it bridge rectifier to convert AC to DC. The capacitor is added parallel to it because it will reduce the ripple voltage. not sure about why the using the transistors but i think it increases the frequency so they can reduce the size of capacitor and transformer.

    I would not expect something so simple in a modern phone charger. I'd expect this in the 90's. This is probably the cheapest way to get a regulated +5V, I can't argue with that!
    From what I see, the transistors are in an astable multivibrator configuration, then they go into a pulse transformer.
    What I would expect is common mode chokes for EMI, a high-efficiency switch-mode controller with a fast FET to reduce time in the linear region for efficiency purposes, and MOV ( or .
    Great video! The animations and explanation was great (I smiled when I heard you explain why you can't just use a transformer at 50/60Hz). I'm an electrical engineer and I approve.

    The circuit presented use only two transistors. It is a good minimal design reminding engineers what was done before specialized chips became available.
    Most switching power supplies now use a small PWM chip which control the gate of a FET transistor (often integrated in the chip).
    They often skip the opto coupler by sensing the back emf on the primary side. This back emf can be sensed only after a delay in the rising or falling edge. These chip also measure the current on the FET and turn off if too large, indicating that saturation is reached (when the DC resistance of the coil becomes the load, no back emf voltage anymore ; the inductance is fully discharged of magnetic energy).

      Now that you mentioned it. Maybe the third band was gold and not yellow. So it will be 2.6 ohms.
      The video cannot be changed but I will mention it in the description.

    The conventional AC/DC converter is a 220/5V single-phase transformer + full-wave bridge rectifier( four diodes arranged like that in the video) + filtering capacitor. However, this circuit will result in a heavier phone charger since the frequency used is 50Hz
    Note that the transformer’s size decreases by increasing the frequency.
    So they thought about this idea mentioned in the video
    We will use a full-wave bridge rectifier converting from AC into DC, then we apply that DC voltage on an oscillator circuit that converts that DC into a high-frequency AC voltage, so in the final step, we can easily use a small transformer to a 5 V , however, this voltage is AC
    So we will use one diode( half-wave rectifier) which is more economical than a full wave rectifier, and a capacitor for filtering purposes!
    The final input/output voltage is 220V_AC to 5V_DC!!!

    Great detailed explanation. Please review the markings on disk capacitors. I believe 102 nf indicates 10 plus 2 additional zeros or 1,000 nf value. Thanks.

    • @ronnueda933

      I'll just hijack this comment to say that it is not 102nF or 1000nF. Hopefully no one has used the circuit posted. That would be quite dangerous to do so.
      The capacitor in between the primary and secondary should be limited in value since it can be a low impedance path from the AC line if it is too large. Touching the output side will essentially be connecting yourself with the AC line with only this capacitance in between.
      A 100nF capacitance with a 230V 60Hz line has 26.5kOhm of impedance and will allow up to 9mA of current (painful shock). Increase that capacitance to 1000nF and you have a maximum of 90mA (can be lethal).
      It also has to be a special capacitor that is safety rated because it can fail shorted if it is not, which will make the output directly connected to the line. Again, touching this output will electrocute you.
      Please don't play with high voltage circuits. You can kill yourself.

      Correct, the cap is 1nF or 1000pF, "102" means 10pF + 2 zeros. That's a common value for such interference caps.
      Another mistake is of course the inrush resistor value is way to high, should be 4R7 or so.
      Also, the secondary diode is polarized wrongly. The diode is sopposed to be *reverse* biased while the primary is energized, so a magnetic field can accumulate in the core, which, when the primary is turned off, collapses into the secondary with the diode conducting and charging the cap powering the load.
      This is an important detail as it sets apart the flyback transformers (with air gap in the core to hinder saturation during accumulation!) used in low power devices like USB 5V supplies like here, from other kinds of switch mode transformer set-ups.

    • @westelaudio943
      @westelaudio943 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      CRT televisions were among the first devices utilizing this concept, to generate the high voltage for the anode of the picture tube. Of course with step up instead of step down transformers. 1930s probably...
      Some power transformers are large because they are running on the low mains frequency itself...
      Which has some advantages like less electric (going to the load and back into mains) as well as magnetic (radiating from the transformer and wiring) high frequency noise, and better reliability. Or they are used because the load requires low voltage, low frequency AC instead of DC.
