Full featured touch control programmable power supply
Now a day the most electronics gadgets equipped with touch control technology, because of sleek look, can operate with one touch, etc. Electronics hobbyist or who is interested in electronics design their own power supply unit using common variable IC regulator LM317 with selective rotary switch for output they need. Here, a project called full featured touch control programmable power supply is published in this site is touch control variable power supply.
Circuit Description of full feature control programmable power supply
A very simple logic is used to make the circuit full feature control programmable power supply, even a simple electronics hobbyist understand and build very easily. For rectification a very common bridge rectifier circuit is used to change alternating current (AC) to pulsating direct current (DC). The positive output from rectifier is fed to input pin i.e. pin 3 of IC1 where output voltage from output of the IC1 is selected by transistor T1 to T10 with the help of resistor R2 through R11. These transistors are made to switch on and off turn by turn instead of single pole 10 way rotary switch. Transient response of the power supply is improved by capacitor C2 and 50 Hz hum is filtered by capacitor C3.
For touch control very popular IC NE555 is used in mono-shot mood with output pulse width of slightly more than a second. Base of transistor T11 and T12 is connected to touch plate TP1 and TP2 respectively. The 50 Hz hum of body from transistor T11 is fed to pin 2 of IC2 as trigger and output from pin 3 is fed to pin 14 of IC3, which is 4-bit decade counter. Pin 5 of IC3 is kept low through transistor T13 at positive transition of each clock pulse at pin 14. In this condition touching TP1 each time change output voltage increasing order. But touching TP2 make pin 5 of IC3 switch to high or logic 1, in this condition touching TP1 each time changing output voltage decreasing order.
Short circuit protection circuit is of figure 2 is connected to output point A and B.
Here we use LEDs for indication by using voltmeter across A-B terminals or an analogue-to-digital converter which in turn drives the 7-segment display.
