Hello,
I am a few weeks in to my first course in Electronics. We have been assigned a homework project to design an AC to DC converter with the following specifications:
I have some understanding of all but the third specification (relating to time). We have been doing something like this class so I know I start off with the input into a transformer, to a (diode) rectifier, to a filter, to a regulator and then finally to the load.
I am not however, terribly sure on the specifics here. I especially need help understanding and meeting the time restraint. I'd greatly appreciate any assistance.
I am a few weeks in to my first course in Electronics. We have been assigned a homework project to design an AC to DC converter with the following specifications:
- The input AC voltage is 120 V (rms) at 60 Hz
- The output should be 4.7 VDC with a maximum 1% ripple
- It should reach the final DC output in 80ms or less
- The load resistance is a fixed 470Ω
- The capacitor can be no more that 1000 μF
