Module 8 - Control Systems: Review of Electronics

Goal:

This module is to provide a review/introduction to electronics basics.  The power supply is used to discuss resistors, capacitors, diodes, and voltage regulators.  The power supply used in the MATE ROV Control System is used as an example.

Objectives

Upon completion of this module, the student should be able to:

1. Identify electronic components and describe their purpose.
2. Describe the differences between Linear and Switching power supplies
3. Select the proper resistors required for various power supply output voltages.
4. Describe the purpose of power supply filter capacitors.
