Re: Why are power supplies so complex?

All electronics is complex. That's why it's fun, but also why it's
hard to learn and understand. I could ask you "why is a car engine so
complicated?"


Then I would explain part of the complexity. There is a lubrication system, and this needs a pump, and to be cooled. There is a cooling system, which needs to circulate and needs a pump and a whole lot more cooling. There is a timing system, which must be precise and many things exist to make this happen. And so forth.


If I knew the equivalent for a power supply, I'd post about that.
