Dual Powersupply

This document describes the design of a dual DC power supply that can provide both positive and negative voltages. It consists of four main stages: a transformer, rectifier, filter, and regulator. The transformer steps down the AC mains voltage. The rectifier converts it to DC. The filter smoothes the output. Finally, adjustable voltage regulators (LM317 and LM337) are used to regulate the positive and negative voltages and improve performance. The completed circuit can supply precisely controlled positive and negative voltages needed by circuits like operational amplifiers.

Mini project

on
dual dc power supply

With hard efforts from:


Vineet Nayan Barun Kr. Jha
Shiv Kundan Kumar Saurav
INTRODUCTION :
 This mini project is about designing a dc
power supply which instead of supplying
a voltage with respect to ground would
supply two different voltages , one
positive and other negative at its two
output pins and when required zero at
the third pin .
 for ex :- if we want to supply + 15v & - 15v
to a operational amplifier we would
need a dc power supply which would
provide these two voltages outputs at
its two terminals .
 This project basically consist of four
stages viz :
 Transformer
 Rectifier

DETAILED THEORY & WORKING
 Some electronic circuits require a power
supply with positive and negative
output as well as zero volts . This is
called a “ dual supply ” because it is
like two ordinary supplies connected as
shown:




 Dual supplies have three outputs , for
example a ± 9V supply has + 9V , 0V , - 9V
outputs
Stage I : Transformer only
 We have used a 18 - 0 - 18v transformer so
that we can get a maximum o / p voltage
of 18V.
Stage I : Transformer only(cont.)
 The practical circuit & the output
obtained on the CRO

Stage II : Transformer +rectifier
Stage II : Transformer +rectifier(cont)
Stage III : Transformer +rectifier+filter
Stage III : Transformer+rectifier+filter(cont.)
Stage iv:regulation
 Till Now - Unregulated Power Supply -
> Transformer Rectifier & Filter
 This type of power supply is not
good :
 Poor Regulation ( Output
current varies with load )
DC output voltage varies with
AC input
DC output voltage varies with
temperature
 These are overcome with

feedback control circuit


Stage iv:regulation(cont.)
 The feedback circuit to overcome
the shortcomings
Stage iv:regulation(cont.)
 Types of Regulator ICs(all are 3
pin)
 Fixed positive & negative

Adjustable positive &


negative
 Here in our project we have
used the adjustable voltage
regulators.
 The ICs used are LM317 and
Stage iv:regulation(cont.)


Stage iv:regulation(cont.)
 Fixedvoltage regulated dual
supply:
 An LM78XX or LM79XX can be used


 Three terminals-input, output and


ground

Stage iv:regulation(cont.)
A no. of three terminal adjustable
regulators are available.
 We have used LM317 and LM337
 LM317
 1.5A current output
 Voltage range—1.2V-37V

 LM337
 1.5A current output
 Voltage range— -1.2V- -37V


Stage iv:regulation(cont.)
 The basic connections of the
positive regulator IC.


 Diode-ensures that it turns on under operating
conditions.
 Capacitor used to improve the transient
response of the circuit.
 Vo=1.25(1+R2/R1)
Stage iv:regulation(cont.)
 The basic connections of the
negative regulator IC.





 -Vo=-1.25(1+R2/R1)
