Every electrical and electronic device that we use in our day-to-day life will require a power supply. In general,
we use an AC supply of 240V 50Hz, but this power has to be changed into the required form with required values or
voltage range for providing power supply to different types of devices. There are various types of power electronic
converters such as step-down converter, step-up converter, voltage stabilizer, AC to DC converter, DC to DC converter,
DC to AC converter, and so on. For example, consider the microcontrollers that are used frequently for developing
many embedded systems’ based projects and kits used in real-time applications. These microcontrollers require a 12V
DC supply, so the AC 240V needs to be converted into 12V DC using the step-down converter in their power supply
circuit.
12V power supplies (or 12VDC power supplies) are one of the most common power supplies in use today. In
general, a 12VDC output is obtained from a 120VAC or 240VAC input using a combination of transformers, diodes and
transistors. 12V power supplies can be of two types: 12V regulated power supplies, and 12V unregulated power
supplies.12V regulated power supplies come in three styles: Switching regulated AC to DC, Linear regulated AC to DC,
and Switching regulated DC to DC.
The objective of this project based learning is to apply the learning and skills acquired from the course
Industrial Electronics in creating dc power supply.
