ObjectiveThe purpose of this laboratory experiment is to explore the variaety of DC power supply
circuits. This will primarily be accomplished by passing an input through a rectifier, then filter,
then voltage regulator to get the desired output of the person’s choice. Throughout the
experiment a transformer will be used to replicate the output of an outlet’s sine wave (but
powered down). An in depth look at the theory behind the experiment is discussed in he
“Theory” portion of the laboratory report.

Figure 4.1 is a model of the Center-Tapped Transformer component from the
experiment. This transformer takes the 120V-rms 60kHz input from a regular wall outlet, and
outputs a 7.5V-rms 60kHz sin wave. This allows us to have a low voltage we can transform in
our lab experiment. The goal is to turn this sin wave in to a DC power supply using rectifiers,
filters, and regulators.

Figure 4.5 is a half wave rectifier using a regular diode. The diode allows current to pass
through one direction, but not the other direction. This results in a voltage across the resistor in
the positive region, but not in the negative region.

Figure 4.6 is a very basic transformer using a half wave rectifier and a filter consisting of
a single capacitor. We can see that, because we are constantly charging the capacitor, the
capacitor voltage remains relatively high, with low amplitude. This is close to a real transformer
because as the capacitor amplitude reaches zero, we get a DC source voltage.

Figure 4.7 is the same circuit as Figure 4.6 except with an added resistor in series with
the capacitor. This allows the capacitor to hold charge for a longer period of time, which results
in a more DC voltage across the capacitor.

In Figure 4.7dwe replace the 100uF capacitor with a 470uF capacitor. The results in the
output 4.7e show that, because the capacitor is capable of holding more charge, it discharges
slower than the 100uF capacitor. This results in even lower output amplitude.

Figure 4.8 is a test of a full wave rectifier. The diodes are placed in such a way that it
always directs current in one direction across the load resistor. This results in an output voltage
that is all in the positive region, with no cutoff regions.

In Figure 4.8c, we add a capacitor (filter) to the full wave rectifier. The capacitor is
charging during the entire output sin wave, resulting in a capacitor voltage with a very low
amplitude. The lower the output amplitude, the better transformer we have.

In this circuit figure 4.9a, we’ve added another 100uF capacitor in parallel to the first,
increasing its effective capacitance to 200uF. As a result, the capacitors hold charge for a longer
period of time. The resulted figure 4.9b shows that the voltage is nearly a straight DC source
line. Our output voltage amplitude is in the low mV range.

In the final circuit, Figure 4.10a, we added a voltage regulator stage to our transformer
in the form of a parallel zener diode. This zener diode regulates voltage by breaking down
(becoming a short) as soon as the voltage reaches a certain level. This creates a cutoff in the
output wave that further straightens out our DC output. This circuit could be further improved
by either adding another parallel capacitor, or increasing the single capacitor capacitance.
ConclusionThis laboratory experiment we learned many things including the use of a
transformer both in the physical and digital realm. Understanding and being able
to use parts such as transformers is an integral part to power systems. As the
world starts to move to the digital side of things, it is important for people in the
workplace and in the academic world to understand how to apply electrical
engineering concepts to the computer. Using PSPICE is the best way to
demonstrate one’s knowledge of circuit in the digital realm. In this particular
laboratory experiment, the laboratory manual starts to go into more, in depth
instructions on how to use PSPICE and take advantage of its many features. For
many labs to come, the student will find the laboratory manual to be a useful tool
in the process of learning PSPICE and all of its functions.
