ELE1502 ASSIGNMENT 2Circuit 1: Power Supply Development
Analysis: Range of output voltage
It is given that:
Power Supply Plug is providing the voltage of 14 VAC and the value of capacitor
๐ฑ is 100 uF. Potentiometer connected to the LM317 can vary its resistance from
0 k๏ to 10 k๏.
So, when potentiometer resistance is = 0 k๏, the voltage is calculated as;
๐ต๐ต = ๐ต๐ต (1 + 0๐ 1.+ 2๐ 5๐ฉ + ๐ต๐ต(5๐ฉ
For LM317, ๐ต๐ต = 1.25 V and ๐ต๐ต = 50 uA
๐ต๐ต = 1.25 (1 + 0๐ 1.+ 2๐ 5๐ฉ + 50๐จ5๐ฉ = 6.46 + 0.25 = 6.71 ๐
And when potentiometer resistance is = 10 k๏, the voltage is calculated as;
๐ต๐ต = ๐ต๐ต (1 + 101 ๐ฎ2 + ๐ต๐ฉ + ๐ต๐ต(15๐ฉ
๐ต๐ต = 1.25 (1 + 1 15 .2๐ ๐ฉ + 50๐จ15๐ฉ = 16.88 + 0.75 = 17.63 ๐
So, maximum possible achievable output voltage after the adjustment of
potentiometer connected with LM317 is from 6.71 V to 17.63 V.Further Analysis for suitability of Capacitor ๐ต:
The following data is obtained to validate the suitability of the capacitor ๐ฑ;

0 k๏ 470 uF 6.71 V 0V
10 k๏ 470 uF 15.2 V to
16.0V 0.8 V
Table 1
When potentiometer is set to 0 k๏, the output voltage is exactly 6.71 V without
any ripple for ๐ฑ as 100 uF. So we can say that this value of the capacitor is
suitable for this output voltage.
When potentiometer is set to 10 k๏, the output voltage is fluctuating between
12V to 16V for ๐ฑ as 100 uF. So, we are having ripple voltage of 4V. So it is
concluded that ๐ฑ = 100 uF is not suitable choice when potentiometer is set to 10
k๏. The value of ripple voltage can be reduced by increasing the value of the
capacitor ๐ฑ.
The same analysis is repeated for ๐ฑ = 470 uF, it is clear from the table 1 that the
output ripple voltage is reduced from 4V to 0.8V .Building and Testing:
The circuit is implemented on breadboard as shown below and measurements are
taken by the DMM.

Part c:
Observation:
It is clear from Part (a) and Part (b) that as the output current and output voltage
increases the amount of ripple voltage increases.
Recommendation:
To reduce the output ripple voltage, the first we need to increase the value of
capacitor ๐ฑ. The following data is obtained by selecting the value of ๐ฑ = 470
uF.Potentiometer
Setting ๐ต Current Output Output Measured Voltage Ripple V Measured oltage
0 k๏ 470 uF 0 mA 7.19 V 0 V
0 k๏ 470 uF 100 mA 7.19 V 0 V

10 k๏ 470 uF 100 mA 13.6 V to 16.1 V 2.5 V
Table 3
Verification:
By comparing Table 2 and Table 3 it can be concluded that when capacitor ๐ฑ
value is increased from 100uF to 470uF the ripple voltage is considerably
reduced. This ripple voltage can further be reduces by increasing more the value
of capacitor ๐ฑ.

Analysis: Calculating Expected Voltages at A and B Points
As ๐ต๐ = 12๐ฌ which is applied to all the active components 555 timer, 741 op
amp and LM339 op amp.
When switch SW is closed momentarily, the voltage at point A and B is given by
the following expression.

Determining the expected timing at the output of 555 timer, 741 and 339
Width of the 555 timer output is calculated for the given circuit is calculated using
the following formula;๐
๐ต๐ต๐ = 1.1 ร 100๐ ร 0.22๐ = 24.2 ๐ต
When momentary switch is pressed, the 555 timer has positive output, the diode
becomes forward biased and the capacitor is charged to the voltage ๐ ๐ โ 0.7.
Now 741 op amp is connected in non-inverting mode with unity feedback, so the
input voltage (๐ ๐ โ 0.7) of 741 op amp becomes equal to the output voltage ๐ต.
Now as switch is opened and the diode is reverse biased. So the capacitor starts
discharging, and hence ๐ต also starts decreasing.
Discharging Time Constant of 741 op-amp circuit is calculated as;
๐ต๐ต๐๐ต๐ต741 = 220๐ ร 100๐ = 22 ๐
So, ๐ต decreases to its 63.6% value in 22 seconds.
LM339 is working as comparator, its negative terminal is fixed at 3.41 using the
resistor divider network. When value of ๐ต is more than 3.41 V, LM339 has the
output voltage of 12V, while when ๐ต become less than 3.41 V the output of
LM339 reduces to zero and Green LED turns ON. So from above discussion the
following table is obtained.

Part c: Observations and Recommendations
From Part (a) and (b) the following observations are made and accordingly
recommendation is suggested.
1. As value of ๐ต resistance is increased, the voltage at point A and B
decreases and hence the time required to change the state of Green LED
decreases. To make the circuit operation faster minimum value of ๐ต
should be made zero.
2. As the value of capacitor ๐ is reduces, the discharging time constant of 741
op amp reduces and hence voltage at point B reduces at faster rate and
hence the time required to change the state of Green LED reduces. Hence
to make the circuit operation faster minimum value of ๐ is desirable and
vice versa.
The complete circuit diagram is given below.Fig 5
