Hi all, I need some info on serializing ATX SPS. Is this possible to do and does someone have any circuits to help me out. The goal is to make a variable bench power supply, I hoped that I could put 3 atx supply's in serie to have 0-36V.
Hi
here is a good link showing how to modify a ATX PSU based on KA7500 (TL494). http://www.chirio.com/switching_power_supply_atx.htm
For 0-36v you should triple the 12v windings on your trafo.That way you are using only one PSU not 3.
Hope this helps
Try to find the optocoupler (PC817 usually) and the "Shunt Voltage Reference" TL431. Then you have to change the R1/Rb Voltage divider resistor network and possibly the R5 resistor. See the attached image.
