You must discuss advantages and disadvantages of applications and limitations of the different types of DC powers supplies. D1 600 words Page 2 TASK 2: LO1.2 You are required to design a 5V power supply based on the 7805 IC regulator. The input to the supply should be low voltage from a step-down transformer. You will design the rectifier, smoothing and regulator stages taking particular care of device ratings and heat sink requirements. Use mutisim Power Supply Specifications 5V Supply Minimum Input Voltage (V RMS ) 8V Maximum Input Voltage (V RMS ) 9V Maximum Load Current 0.5A Output Ripple Voltage < 0.5% The characteristics of the regulator devices are given below: Characteristic 7805 Maximum Output Current (A) 1A Input Voltage Range (V) 7V – 25V Ripple Rejection Ratio (dB) 70dB Part 1 Produce a block diagram of the circuit for Task 2. Use multisim Part 2 Produce a circuit diagram of the circuit for Task 2, justifying all component values and ratings. Use mutisim Page 3 Part 3 Build the circuit on a multisim and take measurements to calculate the following: a) Line regulation b) Load regulation c) Ripple rejection ratio d) Maximum load and short circuit currents Opportunity for merit For Task 2, you will need to present your
