Power supplies are the backbone of the electronics world, but choosing and using them can be daunting. There are many questions that must be addressed when working on your power supply project.

Part 1 of this 2-part class will focus on exploring the different types of power supplies, the pros and cons of each, and how they work. In part 2, students will tear open some power supplies, fire up the oscilloscope, and get a look under the hood. Each attendee will gain experience and familiarity with how real power supplies work when put to the test.

Please note, this is a 2-part class. Your ticket purchase will cover admittance to both classes. For more information about what will be offered in part 1 and to purchase your tickets, go here.
