Even though DC power sources and DC converters have become tremendously popular in the modern world, many businesses still use linear power source modules. Because of wafer fabrication processes as well as modern techniques, linear regulators are still the most popular choice among many business owners. Most people are still confused about the many benefits of a linear power source. Here are just some of the main benefits that you get for using linear power supplies:
Wide Range of Applications
One of the biggest benefits of using a linear power source is that it can be easily installed and used in a wide range of different applications. Linear power supplies are perfect for use in low noise amplifiers, laboratory test equipment, data acquisition machines such as sensors and sample/hold circuits, control circuits and signal processing machines. The linear supply is designed to provide a fixed supply of electricity to a particular machine. Because most of these machines require so much electricity consistently in order to operate properly, using a linear supply is the best option.
Affordable
Most companies that sell linear power supplies often maintain very competitive pricing in the market. If you are looking to buy a linear power supply, you don’t need to spend a fortune on it. In fact, many companies also offer customizable options. You can provide the specifications of the power supply that you want and the company will create one specifically for you.
Efficiency
Numerous studies and direct comparisons have shown that using a liner power supply for a fixed application may be more efficient than using a variable or multichannel power supply. Studies show that the average efficiency of the power supply is considerably greater, which is why they are such a great option for use in fixed applications.
