5V DC Power Supply

5V DC Power Supply

Using this circuit you produce a 5V DC power supply for your other projects.

Apparatus
1.     Transformer (230/12 V)
2.     4 Diodes
3.     Capacitors     1. C1  (3300uF)
                      2. C2  (0.1uF)
                      3. C3  (1uF)
4. Resistors       1. 240  ohm
                          2. 720  ohm
5. Connecting Wires

Working:

The voltage is converted to 12 V ac through transformer then it is converted to the dc supply by the diode bridge. The capacitor C1 is used to smooth out the output waveform the output of the diode bridge. The out at the diode bridge is pulsating DC .This cannot be directly for most of the application. So we need to convert the output into the constant dc supply.
For this purpose we are using a voltage regulating IC(LM317).It is having three terminals Adjust, Input and Output. Connections of it are shown in the figure. We are using the C2 capacitor to avoid the noise .The Capacitor C3 is used to reduce the ripples in the final output.
The output Voltage can be determined by the following formula:
Vout=1.25(1 + R2/R1) 
Thus by keeping R2=720 and R1= 240 we get the output voltage as 5V.

For those who don’t know about IC LM317 . I will be also adding a new page containing information about the components I am using in the projects. Plz refer that.

If you have any doubts plz ask in the comments. :)
