MODULAR POWER SUPPLY

MODULAR POWER SUPPLYIn Amateur practice when developing or building a device often require multiple power sources at different voltages. For example, structures made in operational amplifiers and working in conjunction with digital integrated circuits require the bipolar and unipolar current sources. To use in such cases, the voltage divider is uncomfortable, especially in the process of developing new devices. After all, it is necessary to change the number of elements used and their type, which leads to a change of energy parameters of the device, and hence to necessity of the divider.
