Design of regulated power supply to give a output of 5 volt DC. Design suitable step down
transformer, rectifier, filter and regulator IC.
Voltage regulator:-
Voltage sources in a circuit may have fluctuations resulting in not giving fixed voltage outputs.
Voltage regulator IC maintains the output voltage at a constant value. 7805 IC, a voltage
regulator integrated circuit (IC) is a member of 78xx series of fixed linear voltage regulator ICs
used to maintain such fluctuations. The xx in 78xx indicates the fixed output voltage it provides.

Description:
The transformer is used to step down the AC mains voltage (230V, 50 Hz) to desired voltage
level by controlling the turns ratio N2:N1. The secondary voltage, Vs is 230(N2/N1). The

transformer also provides electrical isolation to the electronic system from AC mains. The
rectifier converts the AC voltage to pulsating DC, which is smoothened by filter circuit. The
output voltage of the power supply is expected remain constant against variations in the load
current or variations in input voltage. This is accomplished by using a suitable voltage regulator.
For transformer,
Ns/Np= Vs/Vp
Hence, Vp = Vs*(Np/Ns)

For Filter,
A capacitor is used to filter out the ripples and get a DC output. When a capacitor of smaller
value such as 1uF is used we get ripples in the output. Whereas for larger values of capacitor
such as 5mF, the ripples are removed and we get a constant DC output.
