Power supplies are essential for the operation of electronic devices and systems
and their functions are provide stable DC voltage and current.
Rectifiers are essentially AC/DC (figure 1) converters that use diode
characteristics to restrain current direction flow.
2. VOLTAGE MULTIPLIERS

Floyd T. L. Electronic Devices. Prentice Hall, 9th edition, New Jersey, 2012.
Voltage multipliers operation is hazardous because they store energy in open
circuit mode (no load) and can inflict serious damage and eventually cause
death.
3. Assignment
3.1. Design a variable regulated DC voltage power supply from 0 to 24v and ILMAX =
1.5A.
The regulation must be performed using zener diode and BJT transistors. The
source must have a short-circuit protection circuit and analog display of load
voltage.
Specify each one of the circuit components, considering power dissipation
conditions.
3.2. Design a voltage multiplier circuit that provides 64VDC and will be able to delivery
250mA with a ripple less than 10%. The input source is 12VRMS.
