A '''power supply''' is [[hardware]] (typically [[analog]], although more modern units often include [[digital]] sections) which converts incoming power (often line-[[voltage]] [[alternating current|AC]] from the wall supply) to power (usually [[direct current|DC]]) at the voltage(s) and [[current]](s) needed for other [[circuit|circuitry]].

In addition to simple conversion, power supplies usually place some constraints on the ''quality'' of their output (ripple, etc); they also often include large enough [[capacitor]]s to 'tide over' power spikes on the input supply.
