### 2. Core Electronic Components
The internal architecture consists of several stages that manage the conversion of raw AC power to stable DC power:
#### A. Input Filter & Rectification
* **MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor):** Protects the circuit against high-voltage surges from the mains.
* **Bridge Rectifier:** Converts the incoming AC sine wave into a pulsating DC signal.
* **Bulk Capacitor:** Smooths the pulsating DC into a high-voltage stable DC bus.
#### B. Switching & Transformation
* **PWM Controller IC:** The "brain" that regulates the switching frequency to maintain output stability.
* **MOSFETs:** High-speed switches that chop the DC voltage into high-frequency pulses.
* **Power Transformer:** Provides galvanic isolation between the AC input and the DC output while stepping down the voltage.
#### C. Output Filtering
* **Schottky Diodes:** Rectify the high-frequency AC from the transformer back to DC.
* **Low ESR Capacitors:** Filter out high-frequency noise and ripple to ensure a clean DC output for sensitive electronics.

### 3. Safety and Protection Features
This part incorporates multiple protection circuits to prevent damage to the connected hardware:
* **OVP (Over Voltage Protection):** Shuts down the unit if the output voltage exceeds safe limits.
* **OCP (Over Current Protection):** Prevents damage if the load draws more current than the power supply is rated for.
* **SCP (Short Circuit Protection):** Instantly cuts power if a short is detected to prevent fire or component melting.

### 4. Connector and Physical Interface
* **AC Input:** Standard C14 "Kettle" socket or fixed cord.
* **DC Output:** Usually features a 4-pin or 8-pin DIN connector, or a standard barrel jack, depending on the specific revision (R2).
* **Enclosure:** Metal or high-grade plastic housing designed for heat dissipation.
