THEORY:

Introduction:

In the designing of any electronic circuit, three most important considerations are:

(i) Circuit components like resistors, Capacitors, Transistors and Diodes. (ii)

Power sources like dc power supplies and signal generators

(iii) Measurement and analysis instruments like multi meters and Cathode Ray Oscilloscope
(CRO).

This experiment deals with familiarization of basic components like resistors, Capacitors and

diodes.

Basic Components: Basic components like capacitors, resistors, inductors, diodes, light emitting

diode (led) and transistors can be divided into 2 categories: (i) Passive components like resistors

and capacitors and (ii) Active components like diodes and transistors. The difference between the

above two categories is that active components can generate energy whereas passive

components can not generate energy. In other words active components can increase power of a

signal whereas passive components often cause the power to be lost.

Some components like resistors have their values marked on them whereas others like

transistors do not have any value marking but have a type number on them. One has to refer to

datasheets to get to know the value of the unmarked component. Besides component values, they

are also characterized by their ratings for e.g. maximum current value that a component can

stand without being burnt out.

Resistors: Resistors can be of two types: fixed value resistors or variable resistors. The formula

for resistance is given by: R = ρ l / A where ρ is resistivity, l is length and A is area of

crossection. Different value resistors can be manufactured by changing the length and area of

crossection or the material itself which changes the resistivity. Materials generally used for

fabrication of resistors are nichrome (80 % Ni and 20 % Cr), constatntan (55% cu and 45 % Ni

) and Manmganin (85 % Cu and 10 % Mn and < 5 % Ni). Metals are not used as they have a

very high temperature coefficient of resistance. Three main methods of fabrication are (i) a slab

or a rod of suitable resistivity, (ii) Material using thinner crossection and longer length. The

length is doubled and then wound in such a way that inductance effects are cancelled out. (iii)

Thin films of material on insulating substrate. Each resistor has a current carrying capacity.
Current more than the prescribed wattage may damage the resistor.

Colour Code for Resistors


Band colour Band colour & its

& its value tolerance

Black = 0 Gold = + - 5%
Brown = 1 Silver = + - 10 %
Red = 2 No colour means 20 %
Orange = 3
Yellow = 4
Green = 5
Blue = 6
Violet = 7
Grey = 8
White = 9

The first two bands near an end indicate first 2 digits, digit corresponding to 3rd band is the

power of 10 to be multiplied and fourth band indicates tolerance as mentioned in the table. Refer

fig 1, where brown = 1, black = 0, red = 2 and silver = 10 % tolerance. Hence its value is 10 x 10
2
Ω = 1 k Ω.

Most commonly used resistors in lab are fixed value resistors which exist for standard values

according to E12. Other ranges are E24 and E48 Ranges.


E12 Range: Table 1 is for the values of resistors of E12 range. Topmost row defines the basic

Value units of resistors in ohms. Every following row is 10 fold of the upper row. Table 1:

Variable resistors Besides the fixed value resistors, there also exist variable resistors. The

resistance of variable resistors can vary in steps or continuously. Potentiometer is also an

example of continuously varying resistor

Special purpose resistors Light dependent resistors (LDR) and thermistors are examples of

special purpose resistors. Thermistor is a resistor whose value depends on its temperature. It is

also called a heat sensor. LDR is a resistance whose resistance depends upon the amount of light

falling on it.

Capacitors

Capacitors are capable of storing charges. They are used for coupling ac signals from one circuit

to another and for frequency selection etc. A capacitor consists of 2 metallic plates separated by

a dielectric. The capacitance is defined as : C = Єo Єr A / d, where A is the area of plates, d is

plates separation, Єo is permittivity of free space and Єr is relative permittivity. An important


parameter for capacitors is its voltage handling capacity beyond which the capacitor dielectric

breaks down.

The value of a capacitor depends upon the dielectric constant (K = Єo Єr.) of the material. There

are three main classes of capacitors: (i) Non electrolytic or normal capacitors and (ii) electrolytic

capacitors and (iii) variable capacitors. Normal capacitors are mostly of parallel plate type and

can have mica, paper, ceramic or polymer as dielectric. In the paper capacitors two rectangular

metal foils are interleaved between thin sheets of waxed paper and the whole system is rolled to

form a compact structure. Each metal foil is connected to an electrode. In mica capacitors

alternate layers of mica and metal are clamped tightly together. Refer fig 3.

In electrolytic capacitor mostly a then metal-oxide film is deposited by means of electrolysis on

axial electrode. That’s how it derives its name. During electrolysis the electrode acts as anode

whose cathode is a concentric can. Since the dielectric layer is very thin hence these require

special precaution for their use: i.e. they have to connected in the right polarity failing which the

dielectric breaks down. Besides these fixed value capacitors we also have variable capacitors

whose value depends upon the area of crossection. They have a fixed set of plates and a movable

set of plates which can be moved through a shaft. This movement changes the area of overlap of

the two sets of plates which changes its capacity. Refer fig 3.
Colour and Number code of capacitors. Different marking schemes are used for electrolytic and

non-electrolytic capacitors. Temperature coefficient is of minor importance in an electrolytic

filter capacitor, but it is very important in ceramic trimmers for attenuator use. One never finds

temperature coefficient on an electrolytic label, but it is always present on ceramic trimmers.

(i) Electrolytic Capacitors: There are two designs of electrolytic capacitors: (i) Axial where

the leads are attached to each end (220µF in picture) and (ii) Radial where both leads

are at the same end (10µF in picture) Refer fig 4.

(iii) Non-polarised capacitors ( < 1µF): Small value capacitors have their values printed but
without a multiplier. For example 0.1 means 0.1µF = 100nF. Sometimes the unit is placed in

between 2 digits indicating a decimal point. For example: 4n7 means 4.7nF.

Capacitor Number Code : A number code is often used on small capacitors where printing is

difficult: the 1st number is the 1st digit, the 2nd number is the 2nd digit, the 3rd number is the

power of ten to be multiplied., to give the capacitance in pF. Any letters just indicate tolerance

and voltage rating. For example: 102 means 10 X 10 2 pF = 1nF and 472J means 4700pF =

4.7nF (J means 5% tolerance).

Capacitor Colour Code: Sometimes capacitors just show bands like resistors when printing is

tough on them. The colours should be read like the resistor code, the top three colour bands

giving the value in pF. The 4th band and 5th band are for tolerance and voltage rating

respectively. For example: brown, black, orange means 10000pF = 10nF = 0.01µF.
Available Values of Capacitors: Like resistors capacitors are also available for only

particular values. Following are 2 series defined for capacitors

The E3 series (3 values for each multiple of ten) 10, 22, 47, then it continues 1to100, 220, 470,

1000, 2200, 4700, 10000 etc.

The E6 series (6 values for each multiple of ten) 10, 15, 22, 33, 47, 68, ... then it continues 100,

150, 220, 330, 470, 680, 1000 etc.

Inductors: Inductor is a component made by a coil of wire which is wound on a core. It is used

to vary the impedance of a circuit or for frequency tuning. The value of an inductor depends

upon the total number of turns (N), area of crossection of the core (A) and length of the core

(l).The formula is L = μ o μr N2 A / l. Its unit is in Henry.

Diode: A diode is a single junction device made of p and n type materials.. Its main function is to

rectify an ac signal although other special purpose diodes like Zener and LED’s are used for

other purposes. A normal diode comes in a black casing whereas a zener diode has a transparent

casing. Their pictures and symbols are given in fig. 7.


Other diodes may be made by a p type and n type materials or between a semiconductor and a

metal. If the junction is made between a metal and semiconductor then it is called a Schottky

diode whose application is in rectifying and non-rectifying contacts and Schottky devices. If the

pn junction is made between very heavily doped materials then it forms a Zener diode. These are

used for voltage regulation in power supplies. and have breakdown voltages which are very low.

The normal diode has a breakdown voltage of greater than 100 V.

Some of the diode specifications are: Maximum reverse voltage (Vbr), rated forward current (If) ,

maximum forward voltage drop (Vf) and package style. Table 3 gives some of the most

commonly used diodes with their specifications.

In 4149 Si 100 1.0 75

IN 4007 Si 1000 1.6 1000

To test whether a given diode is O.K. or not, a simple multimter test can be

performed. Light Emitting Diode (LED)

LED’s are p-n junction devices which emit light radiation when biased in the forward direction. The

semiconductor material used for these junctions is a compound semiconductor like AlGaAs whose band

gap corresponds to a particular wavelength according to equation Eg = 1.24 / λ where Eg is the band gap in

ev and λ is the wavelength in microns. (e.g. red ~ 0.7 μ hence corresponding E g = 1.24 / 0.7 = 1.77 ev).

When the pn junction is forward biased, the electrons are excited to conduction band and when they fall

to the valence band, they give out energy in the form of radiation corresponding to the Eg of the material
Conventional led’s are made from the materials like AlGaAs, GaAlP, GaAsP, GaP and GaN which emit

Red, green, orange, yellow and blue colours respectively. Led’s come in a special transparent casing as

shown in fig 8..Dual colour led’s are also available where two junctions are encapsulated on the same

chip. It has three leads where cathode is common whereas normal leds’ have two leads one for cathode

and other for anode. A very important precaution while using an led is the amount of current being passed

through it. For most leds the maximum allowable current is 20 mA beyond which the led can burn out.

Hence in most of the circuits a resistor is used to limit the current. Some important specifications before

using an led are: LED colour, peak wavelength, viewing angle, optical power output, luminous intensity,

forward current and forward voltage.

Transistors

Transistors are semiconductor devices used for applications like amplification of voltages, current and are

also used in oscillator circuits and switches. It’s a two junction and 3 terminal device made of three layers

of n and p type materials. The three regions are emitter, base and collector. They are of 2 types (i) pnp and

(ii) npn. Their most important specifications are Ic, Vce, hfe and Power rating. They come in different
casings like TO18, TO92C, and TO39 etc Given below is a table of most commonly used transistors with

their specifications (approximate) and casings. Datasheets from the companies can be referred to to know

the exact specifications.

Integrated Circuits (IC)

Today all electrical, electronic and computer parts have IC’s in them. Integrated circuit is a name given to

a package which can hold more than 10 and up to millions of electronic components. They can give

various functions like : (i) the function of a full microprocessor circuit (eg 8085), (ii) a memory chip, (iii)

a voltage regulator (LM 7805) or (iv) Can contain just 10 AND gates (eg LS7400). They come in a black

bench like casing with a notch on one side and with electrical legs for connections, which are called pins.

The size is usually around 1 cm2 X 1 cm2. Refer to the picture. Its name is always written on top which
contains a few letters with numerals, according to its type, make and company. For example an IC with

name LS 7400 would mean LS series with And gates, LM741C - mA741C is an operational amplifier

(opamp). Datasheets can be referred to, to know the details of pin configurations and make etc. The pins

are usually read starting from left of notch and going anticlockwise as shown in picture for 555 timer IC.

Fabrication of an IC is a highly sophisticated and expensive process requiring clean rooms and very

expensive equipments like photolithography, metallization and diffusion etc. But because of their bulk

manufacture and requirement the cost of each IC is very low.

EXPERIMENT NO-2
Aim:- Identification of various types of Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and soldering
Techniques.

Introduction:

The acronym of the printed circuit board is PCB, it is a self contained board with
interconnected electrical and electronic components found in various devices ranges from
beepers to pagers, radios, radar and computer systems. The circuits are produced by a slight layer
of conducting material deposited on the outside of an insulating board called as the substrate.
Separate components are located on the surface of the substrate & soldered to the connected
circuits. The construction of the PCB can be done in three ways, namely single sided, double
sided and multi layered. The components on a PCB are connected electrically to the circuits by
two different methods such as hole technology and surface mount. In hole technology, every
component consists of thin leads, which are pressed through tiny holes in the substrate &
soldered to connection boards in the circuits on the reverse side.In surface mount technology, J
shaped or L-shaped terminals on every component get in touch with the PCB directly. A solder
paste includes a glue, solder and flux are applied at the contact point to grip the components in
position until the solder is liquefied.

Different Types of Printed Circuit Boards


PCBs have copper tracks to connect the holes where the various components are located They
are specially designed for each and every circuit and build construction very easy. Though,
making the PCB necessitates special tools. The different types of printed circuit boards mainly
include the following

• Single Sided PCBs


• Double Sided PCBs
• Multilayer PCBs
• Rigid PCBs
• Flex PCBs
• Rigid-Flex PCBs
Single Sided PCBs

This single sided printed circuit board includes just one layer of base material or substrate. One
end of the substrate is coated with a thin layer of metal, usually copper because it is a good
electrical conductor. Generally, a protecting solder mask be seated on the peak of the copper
layer, and a last silkscreen coat may be applied to the top to mark elements of the board.

This PCB consists of various circuits and electronic components on the only single side. This
kind of module works most excellent for easy electronics, and beginners often design and build
this type of board first. These boards tend to cost less to mass-produce than other types of boards.
But although this low cost, they’re used rarely because of their intrinsic design limitations.

Double Sided PCBs

This type of PCBs is much more familiar than single-sided boards. Both sides of the board’s
substrate include metal conductive layers, and elements attach to both sides as well. Holes in the
PCB let circuits on a single side to attach to circuits on the other side.

These kind of circuit boards used to connect the circuits on every side using one of two
techniques: through-hole & surface mount technology. Through-hole technology engages feeding
small wires, called as leads through the holes & soldering every end to the suitable component.

Surface mount technology is different from through-hole technology, it does not utilize wires. In
its place, many little leads get soldered straight onto the board. Surface mount technology
permits many circuits to be complete in a lesser space on a board, meaning the board can execute
more functions, typically at a lesser weight and at faster speeds than through-hole boards let.

Multilayer PCBs

These PCBs further enlarges the density and complexity of PCB designs by adding extra layers
beyond the top & bottom layers seen in a configuration of double sided. With the accessibility of
over many layers in multilayer printed circuit board configurations, multilayer PCBs let
designers to make very thick and highly compound designs.
The extra layers used in this design are power planes, which both provide the supply to the
circuit with power and also decrease the levels of electromagnetic interference which are emitted
by designs. Lower EMI levels are attained by placing signal levels in the middle of power planes.

Rigid PCBs

In addition to having different numbers of layers & sides, Printed circuit boards can also come in
changing inflexibilities. Most customers usually think of inflexible PCBs when they image a
circuit board. Rigid printed circuit boards use a solid, rigid substrate material like fiberglass that
remains the board from twisting. A motherboard within the tower of a computer is the best
example of an inflexible PCB.

Flex PCBs

Generally, the substrate in a flexible board is a flexible plastic. This fundamental material
permits the board to fit into forms that inflexible boards cannot & to turn or shift during use
without harmful the circuits on the printed circuit board. Though flex boards tend to charge more
to intend and create than rigid PCBs, they come with a number of advantages. For instance, they
can restore heavy or bulky wiring in superior gear like satellites, where weight & space matter.
Flex boards can also come in three formats, namely single sided, double-sided or multilayer
formats.

Rigid-Flex PCBs

Rigid flex boards merge technology from both flexible and rigid circuit boards. An easy rigid flex
board comprises of a rigid circuit board those joints to a flex circuit board. These boards can be
more compound if design requests demand.

Thus, this is all about different types of printed circuit boards, which includes Sided PCBs,
Double Sided PCBs, Multilayer PCBs, Rigid PCBs, Flex PCBs, Rigid-Flex PCBs, etc. We hope
that you have got a better understanding of this concept Single. We hope that you have got a
better understanding of this concept or to implement bread board projects, please give your
valuable suggestions by commenting in the comment section below. Here is a question for you,
what are the softwares are available for PCB design?
Soldering Techniques for Building Printed-Circuit Boards
(PCBs)

Printed-circuit board (PCB) design is important not only to evaluate circuit ideas
before integrating them onto a chip but also because the performance of integrated prototype
chips is highly dependent on the evaluation board used to test them. Consequently, developing
PCB-building and soldering skills are important, which is why the purpose of this document is
to review some basic soldering tools andtechniques.
Basic Soldering Tools:

• Soldering Iron – Used to melt solder and connect component pins to board pads. A
cheap soldering pencil may be sufficient, but a temperature-controlled solder station is
best for high performance boards.
• Solder – An alloy of tin and lead with a low melting point. Based on diameter and
metallic and core content, various soldering solutions are available. For example, thick
and thin solders are useful for connecting power devices and surface mount technology
(SMT) components, respectively.
• Flux or Rosin – A substance used to channel solder flow and prevent oxide formation.
Rosin was first used for this purpose, but it is a bit messy. Flux is better and therefore
more popular today.
• Solder Wick or De-soldering Braid – A tool used to extract solder and de-solder
components from the board, for which a pump is sometimes helpful, if large amounts
of solder arepresent.
• Flux Remover – A liquid used to remove flux residue.
• Hot Plate – A tool used to seamlessly solder SMT packages and multi-pin chip
components to the PCB.
• Pliers, Knife, Multi-Meter, and Magnifier – Pliers are used to cut, bend, and sometimes
strip component leads; a knife to strip wires and trim traces; multi-meters to test
electrical connectivity; and a magnifier for soldering small SMT chip components.

Rules of Thumb:

• “Practice makes perfect” – Patience, time, and training are important (Georgia Tech’s
IEEE student branch offers entry-level solder training annually).
• Order is important – Assemble small, flat, multi-pin, surface-mount (SMT) devices first
(there may be insufficient space left for them otherwise) and place visible labels
around the components to avoid mistakes and facilitate the debugging process during
the evaluation phase of the prototype.
• Immobilize components before soldering them – Use glue or any mechanical means to
stabilize the devices before soldering them (this frees both hands to handle the solder
and soldering pencil or gun).
• Heat the joint, not the solder – Heating the solder directly prevents it from flowing into
the joint, staying on the tip of the heat gun instead. Consequently, to avoid this, the
joint should be heated, not the solder, and because the joint is a good thermal conductor,
the solder will melt and adhere to the joint only.
• Use capillary forces – Molten solder naturally flows along metal-plated traces and pads
by capillary forces and applying flux facilitates this process, removing undesired
oxidants in the process.
• Test connectivity – Examine and evaluate solder connections both visually and
electrically (with a multi- meter), especially for small joint connections.
EXPERIMENT NO. 3(a)

AIM:- PCB Lab (a) Art work & Printing of a Simple PCB.

(b) Etching & Drilling of PCB

APPARATUS REQUIRED:-

1. A developer (Sodium Carbonate).

2. B developer (Butyl cell solution).

3. Fixer.

4. Motor.

5. Photo-cure machine.

PROCESS:-

Draw the circuit on transparency i.e. Artwork with error proof.

EXPOSURE TIME:-

Expose the lith film together with the transparent sheet for 5sec.

DEVELOPMENT:-

Use a development tray which is large enough to enable film handling with care. Put sufficient
developer in the tray so that the film can get completely covered with it. Now all the handling of
the film should be done by touching only the corners.
To start a development Procedure Slide the exposed film sheet with emulsion down through the
solution only. Start immediately to lift the tray rotationally each side by about 2cm.

STOPBATH:-

After development is over the film is gripped on one edge and lifted the developing tray for 3
sec. which enable the excess developer to draw .Now immediately thereafter the film is immersed
into the stop bath always with emulsion side. Upward to mechanical damages on the softened
emulsion. The stop bath stops effectively the development action.

FIXING BATH:-

The emulsion is properly fix after in the fixing solution for twice the time, it takes for the milky
appearance to clear completely.
FILM WASHING:-

After all underdeveloped silver halides have been removed the emulsion is
steel saturated with the chemicals of the fixing bathe and some desolved silver
compound. If they are not removed by washing so they will slowly decompose
and attack the image, causing stain and faided film.

The effectiveness of washing can be greatly improved if the film sheet after
fixing, gets a brief water rinse under the tap to remove the excess fixing solution
which otherwise would contaminated the washing tank.

DRYING:-

After washing, a dip in a wetting agent is the valuable aid for the drying process.
For good results, drying could take place slowly at room temperature.

LAYOUT PLANNING:-
1. Depending on the accuracy required artwork should be produced at a ratio of 1:1 or 4:1. 2.
Use of grid system in layout and artwork design is a commonly accepted practice. Use of
grid gives more convenience in placement of components and conductors. 3. Selection of
Board type-single sided.
4. MATERIAS AND AIDS:

with smaller one.
10. Design and interconnection can be done by pencil line.

GENERAL ARTWORK RULE:-


1. In PCB artwork higher conductor density is an established practice.
2. To run the conductors on one side in given direction.
3. Where conductors have to be placed in other direction preference should be given to 48
direction or 30/60 direction.
4. It is a good rule, to begin and end the conductors in solder pad.
5. Where one or several conductors have to pass between pads or other conducting carrier,
spacing has to be equally distributed.
COMPONENTS POLARITY IDENTIFICATION:-
It is very essential when artwork is completed, a through check is carried out to prepare and
to prove its exact correspondence with circuit diagram.
DOCUMENTATION:-
1. Circuit diagram.

2. Legend.

3. Artwork

4. Drill Problem.

5. Soldier masks.

6. Green masks.

7. Component layout.

8. Component list.

THEORY:-
The manual artwork PCB design is the method used by most manufacturing of PCB with this
method extremely accurate, high density PCB can be constructed. This artwork is then
Photographed to produce a negative which can be used with sensitized printed circuit. Exposing
of the negative by contact with coated circuit board is done first and then developing and other
process are required for a PCB.

PROCESS:-

1. Clean the laminate:-Before the metal surface is coating with crescent photoresist. Clean
surface thoroughly so as to make a completely free of physical and chemical continuation.
2. Coating the laminate:-Crescent Photo-resist can apply precisely and economically be using
a dipping process, done by a photo-resist to coats.

3. Thinner:-The thinner is used to dilute the photo-resist as it tends to get the thick during non
use. The use of thinner will depend upon the method of coating.

4. Prefacing:-After coating the laminate allow it to dry naturally for 5 min. this helps to
evaporate the solvents completely.

5. Exposer:-The coated laminate is normally exposed in contact with photographic. Negative


and Positive crescent photo-resist is sensitive to U.V radiation and therefore U.V tube based U.V
exposer can be used for exposer.
6. Development:-The exposed plate should be placed into the solvents based developer. This
will remove unexposed area of the photo-resist and will produce colourless resist image which
has plastic like appearance.

7. Washing:-Immediately after developer is over, wash it on running water of natural pH. After
washing and drying, dying is carried out to improve the visibility of image.

8. Drying the Image:-Immense the dried that plate in the dye developer bath. The surface of
the board is coloured with the dye developer. The board is put under the running water of neutral
pH, in order to wash off the dye stain from unexposed area, which result into a clean dyed image
of photo-resist and the dry.
9. Post curing:-The post-baked surface will be stronger than the unbaked one. This process can
be done on PCB curing machine

EXPERIMENT NO-4
Aim: - To design a step-down transformer of less than 5VA.

Apparatus/Material used: -
Leatheraid Paper
Prespond oil paper
E type and I type cores
Coils of transformer
Primary winding conductor size of 33 SWG
Secondary winding conductor of 42 SWG
Connecting wires of two different colors.
Soldering Iron and soldering wire
Bobbin (12’’)
Hand driven winding machine

Theory: -
A transformer is a static or stationary piece of apparatus by means of which electric power in one
circuit is transformed into electric power of same frequency in another circuit. It con raise or
lower the voltage in a circuit but with a corresponding decrease or increase in current. It
essentially consists of two winding (a) Primary (b) Secondary wound on laminated magnetic
core.
The winding connected to a.c source are called primary winding & that to load are secondary
winding.

If V2 >V1 (step up transformer)

V2< V1 (step down transformer)

Working principle: - When V1 applied in primary, an alternating flux is set up in core this
alternating flux links both the winding and induced e.g. and E1 and E2 in them. According to the
faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. The e.g. E1 is termed as primary emf & E2 as
secondary emf.

E1 = -N1 dØ/dt

E2 = -N2 dØ/dt
E1/E2= N1/N2

Designing CF transformer: - Here we design a transformer of less than 5VA, so we take the 0/p
power of 4.5VA & hence we calculate the different parameter related to the transformer. We
select the conductor wire for primary and secondary winding according to the current rating.

The output power = 4.5VA


Input Voltage = 220V
Pin = Pout

V1 I1 =V2 I2
V1 = input voltage
V2 = output voltage
I1 = input current
I2 = output current
220 X I1 = 4.5
I1 = 4.5/220
I1 = Z Amp(assume)
V1 I1 =V2 I2
220 X Z =9 X I2
I2 = 220 X Z
I2 = __9________Amp
Cross section area of the core =√ P out
5.58
(Where 5.58 is a constant)
= .38
Turn per volt = 6/.38 = 15.78
(Where 6 is a constant
So, we select the wire for primary winding of 33 SWG and secondary winding of 42

SWG accordingly to the current rating.

Number of turns in –

Primary winding N1 = 220 X 15.78 = 3472

Secondary winding N2 = 9 X 15.78 = 142


Procedure: We select the wire for primary and secondary winding according to the current
rating. First we take the 3472 turns for primary winding and covered the bobbin with Leathered
paper 3 or 4 strip then take 142 turns same bobbin on primary winding which is insulated by
Leatheraid paper further we cover the secondary winding with the help Persephone paper 2 or 3
strip. Then we insert the E – core in the bobbin to fill the gap. Between the E – core we insert the
I – cores and test the continuity of transformer’s winding with the help of Millimeter.

Result: After these processes, we have designed a step down transformer of 9V

output. Precautions:
The winding should be done uniformly. Work table, apparatus tanks, trays should be completely
free from dirt and dust.
There should not be spacing between E & I core laminations.

EXPERIMENT-5

Aim:- Soldering shop: Soldering and disordering of Resistor in PCB. Soldering and disordering
of IC in PCB. Soldering and disordering of Capacitor in PCB.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:-

Soldering Equipment , DE soldering pump, Solder , Solder remover braid

SOLDERING THEORY:
1. Soldering is defined as "the joining of metals by a fusion of alloys, which have relatively
low melting points". In other words, you use a metal that has a low melting point to
adhere the surfaces to be soldered together. Soldering is more like gluing with molten
metal than anything else. Soldering is also a must have skill for all sorts of electrical and
electronics work. It is also a skill that can only be developed with practice. The steps
involved with soldering will be explained later in the document.

2. Soldering Equipment:
Soldering requires two main things: a soldering iron and solder. Soldering irons are the heat
source used to melt solder. Irons of the 15W to 30W range are good for most electronics/printed
circuit board work. Using anything higher in wattage and you risk damaging either the
component or the board. Note that you should not use so-called soldering guns. These are very
high wattage and generate most of their heat by passing an electrical current through a wire.
Because of this, the wire carries a stray voltage that could damage circuits and components. The
choice of solder is also important. One of the things to remember is to never use acid core solder.
Acid core solder will corrode component leads, board traces and form conductive paths between
components. The best solder for electronics work is a thin rosin core solder1

34

Soldering Procedure:
1. Surface Preparation

A clean surface is very important if you want a strong, low resistive solder joint. Since you
already have a PCB design, you don’t have to worry about your board being clean. But, make
sure that your component leads are clean.

2. Component Placement
Bend the leads as necessary and insert the component through the proper holes on the board. To
hold the part in place while you are soldering, you may want to bend the leads on the bottom of
the board at a 45 degree angle, refer to figure 3 below.

35
3. Apply Heat

Apply a very small amount of solder to the tip of the iron. This helps conduct the heat to the
component and board, but it is NOT the solder that will make up the joint. Now you are ready to
actually heat the component and board. Lay the iron tip so that it rests against both the
component lead and the board. Normally, it takes one or two seconds to heat the component up
enough to solder, but larger components and larger soldering pads on the board can increase the
time. Refer to figure 4 for a picture [1]. As a general rule of thumb, you should solder passive
components (resistors, capacitors, diodes etc.) first. The reason is that passives can be more
easily mounted as compared to transistors and integrated circuits (ICs). Make sure you solder
polarized capacitors and diodes correctly. You should also use sockets for ICs when available.
4. Apply Solder and Remove Heat

Once the component lead and solder pad has heated up, you are ready to apply solder. Touch the
tip of the strand of solder to the component lead and solder pad, but NOT the tip of the iron. If
everything is hot enough, the solder should flow freely around the lead and pad. Once the surface
of the pad is completely coated, you can stop adding solder and remove the soldering iron (in
that order).

Don't move the joint for a few seconds to allow the solder to cool. If you do move the joint, you
36
will get what's called a "cold joint". A cold joint is a joint in which the solder does not make
good contact with the component lead or printed circuit board pad. Cold joints occur when the
component lead or solder pad moves before the solder is completely cooled. Cold joints make a
really bad electrical connection and can prevent your circuit from working.

Cold joints can be recognized by a characteristic grainy, dull gray color, and can be easily fixed.
This is done by first removing the old solder with a desoldering tool or simply by heating it up
and flicking it off with the iron. Once the old solder is off, you can resolder the joint, making
sure to keep it still as it cools. Refer to figure 5 for a picture of correctly applying solder.
Desoldering

At some stage you will probably need to desolder a joint to remove or re-position a wire or
component. There are two ways to remove the solder:

1. With a desoldering pump

Also known as a 'solder sucker'. It is best to use one with an ESD (electrostatic discharge)
nozzle to protect some ICs which can be damaged by static electricity.

1. Set the pump by pushing the spring-loaded plunger down until it locks. 2.
Apply both the pump nozzle and the tip of your soldering iron to the joint. 3.
Wait a second or two for the solder to melt.
4. Then press the button on the pump to release the plunger and suck the molten solder into
the tool.
5. Repeat if necessary to remove as much solder as possible.
37
6. The pump will need emptying occasionally by unscrewing the nozzle.

2. With solder remover braid


The copper braid acts as a wick for the molten solder which readily flows onto the braid,
away from the joint.

1. Apply both the end of the copper braid and the tip of your soldering iron to the joint.
2. As the solder melts most of it will flow onto the braid, away from the joint. 3.
Remove the braid first, then the soldering iron.
4. Cut off and discard the end of the braid coated with solder.

After removing most of the solder from the joint(s) you may be able to remove the wire or
component lead straight away (allow a few seconds for it to cool). If the joint will not come apart
easily apply your soldering iron to melt the remaining traces of solder at the same time as pulling
the joint apart, taking care to avoid burning yourself.

Result:

Precautions:
1. Never touch the element or tip of the soldering iron. They are very hot (about 400°C)
and will burn.

2. Hold wires to be heated with tweezers or clamps.

3. Keep the cleaning sponge wet during use.


4. Always return the soldering iron to its stand when not in use.

5. Turn unit off or unplug it when not in use.

1. Always return your soldering iron to its stand immediately aft

• Alwaysreturn your soldering iron to its stand immediately after use. • Allow joints
and components a minute or so to cool down before you touch them. • Never touch
the element or tip of a soldering iron unless you are certain it is cold.

3. THEORY:
CRO (Cathode Ray Oscilloscope)
The oscilloscope is one of the most important electronic instruments available for making circuit
measurements. It displays a curve plot of time-varying voltage on the oscilloscope screen. The
oscilloscope provided with Multisim Electronics Workbench is a dual trace oscilloscope that
looks and acts like a real oscilloscope. A dual trace oscilloscope allows the user to display and
compare two time-varying voltages at one time.
The controls on the oscilloscope are as follows:
1. The TIME BASE control adjusts the time scale on the horizontal axis in time per division
when Y/T is selected. When B/A is selected, the horizontal axis no longer represents time. The
horizontal axis now represents the voltage on the channel A input and vertical axis represents the
voltage on channel B input. When A/B is selected, the horizontal axis represents the voltage on
the channel B input and the vertical axis represents the voltage on the channel A input. The
X_POS control determines the horizontal position where the curve plot begins. 2. The
CHANNEL A control adjusts the volts per division on the vertical axis for the channel A curve
plot. The Y-POS control determines the vertical position of the channel A curve plot 39

relative to the horizontal axis. Selecting AC places a capacitance between the channel A vertical
input and the circuit testing point. Selecting “0” connects channel A vertical input to ground. 3.
The CHANNEL B control adjusts the volts per division of the vertical axis for the channel B
curve plot. The Y-POS determines the vertical position of the channel B curve plot relative to the
horizontal axis. Selecting AC places a capacitance between the channel B vertical input and the
circuit test point. Selecting “0” connects the channel B vertical input to ground. 4. The trigger
settings control the conditions under which a curve plot is triggered (begins to display).
Triggering can be internal (based on one of the input signals) or external (based on a signal
applied to the oscilloscope external trigger input). With internal triggering AUTO, A, or B. If A
is selected, the curve plot will be triggered by channel A input signal. If |B is selected, the curve
plot will be triggered by channel B input signal. If you expect a flat input waveshape or you want
the curve plot displayed as soon as possible, select AUTO. The display can be set to start on
positive or negative slope of the input by selecting the appropriate EDGE selection. The trigger
LEVEL control determines the voltage level of the input signal waveform, in divisions on the
vertical axis, before the waveform will begin to display.

Function Generator
The function generator is a voltage source that supplies different time-varying voltage functions.
The Multisim Electronics Workbench can supply sine wave, square wave, and

40
triangular wave voltage functions. The wave shape, frequency, amplitude, duty cycle, and dc
offset can be easily changed. It has three voltage output terminals. Connect the COM
terminal to ground symbol. The +ve terminal provides output voltage that is positive with
respect to the COM terminal and the –ve terminal proves an output voltage that is negative
with respect to the COM terminal.
The controls on the function generator are as follows:
1. You can select a wave shape by clicking the appropriate wave shape on the top of the function
generator.
2. The frequency control allows you adjust the frequency of the output voltage up to 999 MHz.
Click up or down arrow to adjust the frequency, or click the frequency box and type the desired
frequency.
3. The AMPLITUDE control allows you to adjust the amplitude of the output voltage measured
from the reference level (common) to peak level. The peak to peak value is twice the amplitude
setting.
4. The OFFSET control adjusts the dc level of the voltage curve generated by the function
generator. An offset of 0 positions the curve plot along the x-axis with an equal positive and
negative voltage setting. A positive offset raises the curve plot above the x-axis and a negative
offset lowers the curve plot below the x-axis.

Multimeter
A multimeter or a multitester, also known as a VOM (Volt-Ohm meter), is an electronic
measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. A typical
multimeter may include features such as the ability to measure voltage, current and resistance.
Multimeters may use analog or digital circuits—analog multimeters (AMM) and digital
multimeters (often abbreviated DMM or DVOM.) Analog instruments are usually based on a

41
micro ammeter whose pointer moves over a scale calibrated for all the different measurements
that can be made; digital instruments usually display digits, but may display a bar of a length
proportional to the quantity being measured. A multimeter can be a hand-held device useful for
basic fault finding and field service work or a bench instrument which can measure to a very
high degree of accuracy. They can be used to troubleshoot electrical problems in a wide array of
industrial and household devices such as electronic equipment, motor controls, domestic
appliances, power supplies, and wiring systems.
Power Supply

A power supply is a device that supplies electric power to one or more electric loads. The term
is most commonly applied to devices that convert one form of electrical energy to another,
though it may also refer to devices that convert another form of energy (mechanical, chemical,
solar) to electrical energy. A regulated power supply is one that controls the output voltage or
current to a specific value; the controlled value is held nearly constant despite variations in either
load current or the voltage supplied by the power supply's energy source.

Every power supply must obtain the energy it supplies to its load, as well as any energy it
consumes while performing that task, from an energy source

.
42
Active Elements & Passive Elements
"The elements within a circuit will either control the flow of electric energy or respond to it.
Those elements which control the flow of electric energy are known as active elements and those
which dissipate or store the electric energy are passive elements."

"The three linear passive elements are the Resistor, the Capacitor and the Inductor. Examples of
non-linear passive devices would be diodes, switches and spark gaps. Examples of active devices
are Transistors, Triacs, Varistors, Vacuum Tubes, relays, solenoids and piezo electric devices."
Bread Board
A breadboard (protoboard) is a construction base for prototyping of electronics. The term is
commonly used to refer to solderless breadboard (plugboard). Because the solderless breadboard
does not require soldering, it is reusable. This makes it easy to use for creating temporary
prototypes and experimenting with circuit design.

3. Connecting leads

3. THEORY:

A diode is the basic electronic component. It’s property is that it can conduct only in one
direction. A diode can be made by joining a p type semiconductor and an n type semiconductor.
At the junction point there will be a voltage drop due to the migration of carriers. The voltage at
this barrier is known as barrier potential. Ideally the barrier potential is zero. But in practical case
there will be a drop of 0.7 Volts. When the P side of diode is connected to the positive of power
supply and N region is connected to the negative of supply, the diode is said to be in forward
biased condition. At this condition, if the applied voltage is greater than the barrier potential of
the diode, it starts conduction. After the diode is arrived in the conduction mode, the drop across
it remains at 0.7 V. After the conduction starts, if the voltage is increased further, current trough
it increases linearly with voltage.

When the supply voltage is reversed the diode is said to be in reverse biased condition. Here
there is no conduction at lower voltage values .If we increase the voltage value further ,it is
observed that at a voltage the current sharply increases due to the breakdown of the P-N junction.
This damages the device. So care is to be taken while connecting diode in a circuit.

4. CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
5. PROCEDURE

Forward biased diode:

1. Connect the diode with supply terminals as shown in fig.1. The diode’s anode should be
connected to +terminal of the supply.

2. Select the meter range switches (both) towards forward bias side. Keep both supply control to
minimum.

46
3. Switch on the power. Gradually increase the forward bias supply (0-15V) in small steps. Note

the volt and current readings from the panel meters as forward voltage VF and corresponding

current IF in mA.

4. Take the readings till mA meter approaches near maximum deflection . Switch off the power,

turn supply control back to minimum. Prepare the table between VF and IF from the
observations.

5. Plot the forward biased diode graph taking VF readings along the x-axis and IF readings along
the y-axis. Find the slope of the line from the linear part of the curve as shown in fig3a. Calculate
the dynamic resistance of the diode as

RF = δ VF / δ IF

Reverse biased diode:

1. Keep both meter range select switches towards the reverse bias side. Connect diode as shown
in fig2, such that its cathode is connected with the +dc terminal of the supply.

2. Switch on the power. Increase the reverse bias supply (0-90V) in small steps and note reverse
voltage as –ve volts and corresponding current from the panel meters.

3. As breakdown appears, the reverse currnet will rise rapidly at this point at small increamnet of
reverse bias voltage , note the reading and bring reverse supply back to minimum.

4. Switch off the power and tabulate the results as –VR and -IR . Plot the graph as shown in

fig3b. Calculate the reverse resistance in constant region.

5. Comparing result from both observations, shows that the forward resistance of the diode is
very much less than the reverse resistance. This property allows to flow the current in one
direction only.

3. THEORY:
A diode is using to pass current in a single direction. Alternating current is a current which
flows in both directions. In some applications we need dc power supply. A method to obtain dc
supply is by using batteries. But it is not economical at all times. It is possible to obtain dc from
ac supply .That process is known as rectification. Rectification is of two types: 1.half wave
rectification 2.full wave rectification

HALF WAVE RECTIFIERS

In a half wave rectifier only one half cycle of ac voltage is taking. The circuit is given. Here only
one diode is using. During the positive half cycle of ac voltage the diode conducts. So current
flows through load. During the negative half cycle, the diode is reverse biased .So no current
flows through the diode. This type of rectification needs only one diode. But the efficiency is not
so good as that of full wave rectifier

FULL WAVE RECTIFIERS

Unlike a half wave rectifier, a full wave rectifier conducts in both half cycles of ac voltage.
50

.
full wave rectifier can be implemented in two ways

a) Full wave bridge rectifier

In full wave bridge rectifiers 4 diodes are using. During positive half cycle, D1 and D4 are in
forward biased condition. In the negative half cycle of ac D3 and D2 are in forward biased
condition. So in both the half cycles current through the load is in single direction. Thus
rectification can be done. This circuit does not need a centre tap rectifier. But it requires more
number of diodes than centre tap and half wave rectifiers.

b) Full wave centre tap rectifier


This is another method to obtain full wave rectification. In this method only two diodes are
using. But it requires a center tap transformer. During the positive half cycle diode D1 conducts.
In the negative half cycle diode D2 conducts. So in both half cycles current flowing through load
in same direction. Thus rectification can be obtained.

5. PROCEDURE:
For half wave rectifier circuit:

1. Connect the circuit as shown in fig.1. It becomes a half wave rectifier circuit since only
diode D1 is in circuit, note L is short circuited and C open.

2. Switch on the power.

3. Measure AC across the transformer secondary.

4. Note the reading of dc voltage from filter meter as VDC .Calculate the theoretical value

and compare it with found value, where theoretical value VDC={ VAC(RMS) * √2/ᴨ} .

5. Connect the AC voltmeter at the dc output socket fitted at +ve of R L side.

Note the AC ripple voltage as V R. Calculate the ripple factor as

Ripple factor R= VR / VDC .

For full wave (centre tapped) rectifier circuit:

1. Connect the circuit as shown in fig2, this will bring diode D3 in the circuit and it becomes a
full wave rectifier circuit.

done successfully.

9. PRE EXPERIMENT Q.B:

Q1. What is a half wave rectifier?

Ans. In a half wave rectifier only one half cycle of ac voltage is taking. The circuit is given. Here
only one diode is using. During the positive half cycle of ac voltage the diode conducts. So
current flows through load. During the negative half cycle, the diode is reverse biased .So no
current flows through the diode. This type of rectification needs only one diode. But the
efficiency is not so good as that of full wave rectifier

Q2. What is a full wave rectifier?


53
Ans. Unlike a half wave rectifier, a full wave rectifier conducts in both half cycles of ac voltage.
So output gets in both the half cycles.

S.No. Apparatus / Software Used Specification Quantity
1. Zener diode BZX56 1
2. Voltmeter 1
3. Ammeter 1
4. Connecting wires

3. THEORY:

Zener diode is a P-N junction diode specially designed to operate in the reverse biased mode. It
is acting as normal diode while forward biasing. It has a particular voltage known as break down
voltage, at which the diode break downs while reverse biased. In the case of normal diodes the
diode damages at the break down voltage. But Zener diode is specially designed to operate in the
reverse breakdown region.

The basic principle of Zener diode is the Zener breakdown. When a diode is heavily doped, it’s
depletion region will be narrow. When a high reverse voltage is applied across the junction, there
will be very strong electric field at the junction. And the electron hole pair generation takes
place. Thus heavy current flows. This is known as Zener break down.

So a Zener diode, in a forward biased condition acts as a normal diode. In reverse biased mode,
after the break down of junction current through diode increases sharply. But the voltage across
it remains constant.

3. THEORY:

A transistor is a 3 terminal device. It can be considered as the combination of two diodes. In a


transistor there are 3 regions: 1.emitter 2.base 3.Collector. In an npn transistor the emitter and
collector are n types, and base is p type. In any transistor emitter is heavily doped, base is lightly
doped and collector is moderately doped. For the proper working of transistor the emitter base
junction should be forward biased and collector base junction should be reverse biased. In a
common emitter configuration, emitter is common to both input and output.

Transistor (bipolar transistor-BJT) is a current controlled device. The input characteristics


are a plot between the base current and base emitter voltage. The dynamic input resistance can be
calculated by taking the slope of the input characteristics by keeping the output voltage constant.
The output characteristics is a plot between collector current and collector emitter voltage by
keeping the input current constant..Now the common emitter current gain ß can be calculated as
a ratio between collector current and base current at a particular value of output voltage
(collector emitter voltage).

60
The input characteristics:

To draw input characteristic the input supply VBE is varied and corresponding current IB is noted

with each increamental step, while the output supply is kept constant throughout the step.
The input impedance, Ri = VBE / IB at VCE constant (1)

The output characteristics:

To draw output characteristics the output supply VCE is varied and corresponding current IC is noted

value 40µA. Note IC and VCE with each increamental step.

3. Repeat step2 for different values of IB say 80µA increament for each step. Care

should be taken to recorrect IB through the steps.

SOP: - The sum-of-products (SOP) form is a method (or form) of simplifying the Boolean
expressions of logic gates. In this SOP form of Boolean function representation, the variables
are operated by AND (product) to form a product term and all these product terms are ORed
(summed or added) together to get the final function.

A.B. + A’B’

Truth Table for this SOP expression:

75

POS: - In POS form, all the variables are ORed, i.e. written as sums to form sum terms. All
these sum terms are ANDed (multiplied) together to get the product-of-sum form. This form is
exactly opposite to the SOP form. So this can also be said as “Dual of SOP form”.
