Group 3-V3B: 12-Volts Regulated Variable DC Power Supply

This document describes the design and development of a regulated and unregulated DC power supply circuit. The objectives are to produce an output voltage of 1.25V to 12V for the regulated supply and 16V at 500mA for the unregulated supply. A step-down transformer, full-wave rectifier, and pi-type filter circuit are used to attain the desired output voltages. The value of the fixed resistor in the voltage regulator is computed to be 1219.5122 ohms, rounded to 1200 ohms. Simulation and testing show the output voltage meets specifications within a 5% margin of error. Recommendations include thorough research, validation of simulations with real testing, consideration of available components, adequate project time,

GROUP 3-V3B

12-VOLTS REGULATED VARIABLE DC POWER


SUPPLY
OBJECTIVES
• To design and develop a power supply, regulated – that should produce
an output voltage of 1.25V to 12V DC voltage, and unregulated – that
should produce an output voltage of 16V with a maximum load current
of 500mA.

1. To transform a 220-VAC RMS using a step-down center-tapped


transformer then rectify it using a bridge-type full wave rectifier
of 1N4007 rectifying diodes.
2. To design a filter circuit that will give an output DC Voltage of
16V with a ripple percentage of less than 3%.

3. To compute the value of a fixed resistor that will be connected to


LM317 voltage regulator that should yield an output that would meet
the project design’s specification.

CONCLUSION
• One must determine the turn’s ratio of a transformer to successfully attain a
desired input voltage for the rectifying diodes. Since the proponents are
working on an electronic circuit, 220VAC is more than what is needed,
therefore a stepdown transformer was used. The turn’s ratio acquired to
achieve a 12VAC was 55:3.
• To properly rectify the signal, the proponents used Bridge-type full wave
rectifier circuit. Input voltage from the transformer will then be rectified and
become a pulsating DC since during positive half-cycle and negative half-
cycle, the diodes will also alternate in acting as a switch. The input voltage
will also have a 1.4V drop theoretically.
• To achieve a design of a proper filter for the power supply, the proponents
used a pi-type RC filter circuit. This circuit makes use of two capacitors for a
more filtered output. Thus ultimately, the proponents achieved a ripple factor
of 0.1899% in Multisim simulation, and 0.2082% in the actual test.
• The obtained value through computation which the circuit will have an
output of 1.25V-12V was 1219.5122Ω. However, this value is non-existent
on the local electronic shop and was the rounded off to 1200Ω. With the
changes applied, there occurred excess or inadequacy in the output required,
but still within the margin of error of ±5%.
RECOMMENDATION
• The next proponents must have extensive research and deeper understanding
of the components used in the design. There are myriads of types of
components available in the market. Think out of the box and do not limit
ideas to what is taught in the lecture proper.
• Do not be dependent on Multisim simulation. What may happen in Multisim,
may not happen on the actual.
• Have an inventory on the local electronic shop for what components are
available. This is a very important thing, since the components are the heart
of your project.
• Allot ample time in making the project. Do not panic when making a
mistake. It is natural. Be passive about it and learn from it.
• And lastly, do not be afraid of asking persons with wide knowledge about the
project. They will be of great help on the duration of making the project.
