14:35, 30 September 2010 The [[Schneiderware Power Supply]] is an external power supply published by german magazine [[CPC Schneider International]] as part of their [[Schneiderware]] DIY series. The plain PCB, or the fully assembled board were also available via mail-order.
The supply isn't required for all Schneiderware projects. It's needed only for projects that do require special voltages, or for projects that do overload the CPC's own +5V supply (which may happen when connection too many expansion boards, for example). The supply outputs the following voltages:
* +5V DC - needed only when the CPC's built-in supply gets overloaded
* +12V DC - needed for the [[Schneiderware V/24 interface]] and the [[Schneiderware Analog Converter]]
* -12V DC - needed for the [[Schneiderware V/24 interface]] only
* +24V DC - not used (was intended for the EPROM Burner, but when the EPROM burner was released, it contained a 5V-to-25V converter, and thus didn't need the +24V anymore)
'''Caution''' - The supply uses the same type of 2x32 pin connector as the other Schneiderware boards, however, the supply is '''NOT''' intended to be plugged into the [[ECB Bus]] sockets, instead, it should be wired to the 7 soldering points on the [[Schneiderware Basisplatine]].
