FIELD APPLICATION ENGINEER
DC (Direct Current) electricity can be characterized as a voltage source that does not change over time. However, AC (Alternative Current) electricity is preferred due to its advantages from the generation to the distribution of electricity. AC electricity, on the other hand, is a source with a frequency whose amplitude changes periodically over time. For instance, an AC voltage of 220V can be supplied up to the sockets in our homes. But today, most electronic circuit elements work with DC electricity. Therefore, AC electricity needs to be converted to suitable DC electricity. At this point, the AC/DC converters come into play. If it is necessary to define AC/DC converters, we can say that they are particularly useful for converting AC electricity into DC electricity. AC/ DC converters electrically reduce high AC electricity to an AC electricity at a low voltage level, where it can be more easily managed with the help of a transformer in the first place. Then, rectification is usually carried out with the help of diodes in order to transfer the negative alternating parts of the fluctuating sinusoidal voltage to the positive. Finally, the rectified voltage is filtered with the help of capacitors and resistors to bring it closer to the most ideal DC voltage. Since the electricity we use in our homes in Türkiye is 220 Volt AC, it is usually converted from 220V AC electricity to 12V DC or 5V DC electricity. Phone charging adapters will be a good example of converting 220V AC electricity to 5V DC electricity. Usually, AC/DC converter circuits can offer a constant voltage value, while current values are limited. For this purpose, the product should be selected or designed according to the current value required by the circuit to be used.

What are the areas of use?
DC electricity is used in the telecommunications sector, in most electronic devices such as televisions, mobile phones, computers, etc., in mineral refining and mineral coating, and in electric vehicles such as subways. AC electricity, on the other hand, is used in large electrical circuits and high-power asynchronous or synchronous motors.
It is preferred due to the advantages in its generation and transmission, and is usually offered for use in industry and housing. The devices that we use in our homes, such as refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, air conditioners, etc. directly work with AC.
