Name a processor that requires dual voltage how are the two voltages used?

Pentium MMX and AMD K6 both use dual voltage. The lower supply voltage is used for the core and the higher voltage is used to power the I/O pins.


What do you Mean dual tracking power supply?

It's a power supply with a positive and negative voltage, where one of the voltages tracks the other. For example: the negative voltage tracks the positive. If you regulate the positive to 15v, the negative is going to be -15v. This allows very precise symmetric power.


Dual power supply?

Dual power supply is used to describe a computer system with two power supply units (PSU's). This is to provide extra power for the computer's internal components.


What do you mean by dual tracking power supply?

the power supply is tracked by two's.


What should be the setting for a dual-voltage selector switch on a power supply when using a computer in the US?

The 110VAC to 125VAC range (not the 220VAC to 250VAC range).

What is dual voltage operation?

Dual voltage operation means the unit which has that feature can be operated with one of two voltages. This is a feature that may lend itself to marketing a PC in another country where the line voltage (voltage at the mains) is different. The user is able to select an operating voltage, and it is usually done with a switch. Many PC's have the power supply fastened directly to the back of the case where the power cord goes in. (On most units, the power cord plugs directly into the supply.)Some of these power supplies have a small slide switch on them that permits selection of another operating voltage. A "115" or a "220" for example. By looking on the back of a given unit, one might see the switch that provides for the "dual voltage option" feature of that unit.


Can the power supply provide a negative voltage output?

Yes. Depending on the design, the power supply can provide any voltage desired.


What is dual power supply in electronics?

AC is supplied to the input of DC power supply. One way to get to DC is to full wave rectify the AC sine wave. Basically you flip the negative side of the AC waveform to the positive side. You are left will all positive voltages varying from the peak voltage to zero and then back to peak. To make DC you need to smooth out the valleys and make them as close to the peak voltage as possible. You do this with various types of filters that usually involve a large capacitor. Once filtered you can use various circuits to either create a fixed DC output voltage or a variable output.
