Power Supply with regulation


power supply universalElectronic devices should be powered by direct current supply of DC (direct current) which is stable in order to work properly. The battery or batteries are the source DC power supply is best. However, for applications that require power supplies larger, the source of the battery is not enough.
A major source of power supply is alternating source of AC (alternating current) from power plants. For that needed a power supply device that can convert AC current into DC. In this article presented the principles of the power supply circuit (power supply), linear start from the simplest rectifier circuit to the power supply was regulation.

Power supply is functioning electronic circuit to supply power to other components in perangakat electronics. All electronic components that exist in an electronic device will receive power supply from the power supply. Power supply is very has a very important role in an electronic device. Therefore, without power supply, an electronic device will not work. The common voltage supplied by the power supply is +5 V, +12 V,-5V,-12V.
Large output voltage of power supply also must we adjust the voltage needs 'burden' or our electronic devices. Because, an electronic device will be able to work well if the supply voltage and power to him just like the specifications of these electronic components. (specification can be seen in the datasheet of a component).
simple power supply schematic

Power supply circuit drawing examples above we can replace with our needs. Pictured above is a simple power supply circuit having 78XX LM as a regulator. Type LM 78XX can we replace it according to our needs. If for example we want the output from the power supply is +12 Volts, then we have to change it into LM7812 LM. And also of course we have to input voltage of +12 volt transformer.

Similarly, if we want a voltage of +5 volts. So we have to replace the LM7805 LM 78XX, and the input voltage from the transformer 5Volt (transformer).

A basic Arduino Solar PV Monitor

I have just recently had solar pv installed, mainly to future proof my energy costs, I do not expect it to be like drilling for oil in my back garden, however the return looks to be encouraging. The install gives you another single unit meter, from this you will see the total amount the panels produce, but that is about it. I wanted to know how much the production was as it was happening, I discovered the light blinks on the front of the meter will flash 1000 times for each kWh of electricity which passes through. The rate of the flashing of the LED tells you how much power is currently passing through the meter. [ ]

Build a Key Operated Gate Locking System Circuit

This simple key-operated gate locking system allows only those persons who know the preset code to open the gate. The code is to be entered from the keypad within the preset time to operate the motor fitted in the gate. If anyone trying to open the gate presses a wrong key in the keypad, the system is disabled and, at the same time, sounds an alarm to alert you of an unauthorized entry. Figs 1 and 2 show the block and circuit diagrams of the key-operated code locking system, respectively. Connect points A, B, C, D, E, F and ground of the circuit to the respective points of the keypad. Keys S7, S16, S14 and S3 are used here for code entry, and the remaining keys are used for disabling the system. It is very important to press the keys in that order to form the code. To start the motor of the gate, press switches S7, S16, S14 and S3 sequentially. If the keys are pressed in a different order from the preset order, the system will lock automatically and the motor will not start. Fig. 1: Bl...

Apple releases TV spot for new iPods

Apple has just released a fun commercial to showcase its new line of iPod players and the various colours they come in. The TV spot titled ‘Bounce’, has a bunch of colourful iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod shuffles er…bouncing to music. With all that colour and dancing and bouncing, you may forget that Apple’s latest gen line of iPods has some other awesome features. For instance, the fifth gen iPod touch comes with Siri, 4-inch retina display and an A5 chipset. Maybe the next ad will showcase some of these features with less bouncing.link
