Analysis:
 Linear power supply consist of AC VOLTAGE SOURCE, TRANSFORMER, RECTIFIER,
FILTER AND REGULATOR.
 230V AC Supply is given to the primary winding of the transformer, it steps down
to 12V.
 Bridge Rectifier converts the AC voltage to pulsating DC voltage.
 Capacitor act as filter which smoothens the DC profile.
 7805 IC and 7905 IC (3 pin IC) regulator is used to maintain constant DC Voltage
at output Here we have considered diode drop 0f 1.4V and drop out voltage
around 3V.
 7805 IC is used to regulate 5V DC as output.
 7905 IC is used to regulate -5V DC as output.
 Output capacitor is very small in size and is used for noise elimination.
 Input Capacitor is an electrolytic capacitor and output capacitor is a ceramic
capacitor.
 If I want to control the power dissipation then I have to decrease current.
 If f=supply frequency then oscillation frequency= 2f.
 We have to keep the following parameters in mind while selecting a
transformer:
1. Range of voltage
2. Line regulation
3. Current
4. Losses
5. Dropout voltages
 Ripple rejection: For capacitor rating
 Quiescent current: For temperature rise of IC
 We use electrolytic capacitor for steady DC link application.
Conclusion:
By the help of this experiment we learnt to design the linear power supply setup using
different simulation softwares. We designed a linear power supply for +/- 5V DC supply
using 7805 and 7905 ICs and obtained its result using Proteus software. We can
conclude that in LPS the device regulating the power supply is operating in linear

region. LPS will offer more resistance and hence, its efficiency will be less. LPS also has
increased weight and size.
