While designing a 5V Power Supply in Proteus ISIS we will be using Voltage Regulator IC,
which is commonly known as 7805. This voltage regulator is used to regulate or change the
voltage level of supply voltage. As we all know, most of the batteries available in market are
of 12 volts. For example, if you have UPS at your homes then check its battery, it will be of
12V. Similarly, the battery of car or motorcycle is also of 12V. So, 12V has become the
standard of electrical batteries. Now, we have known that all batteries are of 12V but the
problem comes when we are dealing with sensitive electronic components because they are
all designed to operate on 5 volts. Now, as I described earlier that, voltage source available is
12 volts and the operating equipment needs 5 volts to operate. So, we need an intermediate
source or such type of DC Power Supply, which can convert the source voltage (12 volts) to
operating voltage (5 volts). This problem is eliminated by using 7805 IC, and that’s why it is
called Voltage Regulating IC
o Pin # 3 is the output pin of 7805. If 12 volts are applied to its input than
it automatically generates 5 volts on this pin. This pin is marked as
(VO).
Now, moving towards the designing of the hardware, first of all place all the
components in Proteus workspace, as shown in image below:
In Hardware implementation, first off all apply source voltage (12 volts) to the
input pin of 7805 IC. 2 capacitors are also connected in parallel with the source
voltage and their ratings are 1000 uf and 100pf respectively.
On the other side of IC, we also connect 2 capacitors parallel to the gained output
voltage (5 volts), and their ratings are 100pf and 100uf respectively. And a LED is
also connected in parallel on the load side.
Now if you closely observe the image then you will notice that Capacitors
connected across the 12 volts are of HIGH rating while the Capacitors connected
across LED are of LOW rating. The purpose of applying capacitors is to remove
noise from our DC voltages. As, we all know that DC voltage source available in
market is not that much pure. So, to get pure DC wave Capacitors are connected
across it.
Now when you will run the final simulation then it will look like, as shown in the
image given below:
We can justify it as: From ohms law : V=IR, and by rearranging it, we get :
I=V/R .
Now if we remove resistor then R=0, which means: I=V/0 and it lead us to
conclude that: I= infinity or maximum in this case. So the only purpose of the
resistor is to limit current
