Re: Modelling PSUD2 into a voltage regulator
There's a couple of things I can think of. First is to ensure that the voltage feeding the regulator doesn't drop below the dropout voltage. You'd have to check the data sheet, but say the dropout for

Modelling PSUD2 into a voltage regulator
I have a design I want to explore to power a 5V device that consumes up to 3A on start up as the system boots up and consumes more power, and then settles and takes a steady state at 240mA How is this

There's a guide in the help file which explains how to use the software and a video on how to make up your own custom rectifiers. Every on-topic question I get on here gets answered by me personally,

I found it intuitive and useful from the first click, but then I worked 45 years as an electrical engineer...? I think you need a bit more background first.? I'd suggest you Google "Vacuum tube

Is there some reason you can't lower the input voltage. I built this two stage bucker to lower our 120v+ to ¡Ö117 ieLogical BuckTrans <https://ielogical.com/Audio/BuckTrans.php>

Resistor at center-tap
Topic locked, so I'll start a new one. A resistor inserted at the center tap of a full-wave rectifier acts the same as adding two resistors of the same value, one in series with each diode, and could
Locked Re: lowering my secondary transformer output voltage
Hi Mark, It will lower the output voltage and will also make the regulation worse. It's not something that PSUD currently models and isn't likely to be on the roadmap for the future, so not something

Re: broken links? databases which do exist and other woes
Hi Duncan, My error as I looked in C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\*_psud2_* and it only had the rectifiers.txt file. Never thought to look in the old 'psud' folder ? Thanks, - Ian

Re: broken links? databases which do exist and other woes
Hi Ian, The rectifier files (under Windows) are stored in the Appdata folder which can be found at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\psud\rectifiers As per the help file + video, this is the place
