To power many portable household devices or repair radio equipment, it is convenient to have a stationary universal source of stabilized DC voltage. Usually, for such a source, it is sufficient to adjust the output voltage from 1,5 ... 30 V at a maximum current in the load up to 1 A.

Such a source can easily be made on an integrated circuit from the K142EN12A (B) series, fig. 4.6. Its switching circuit is typical and does not need special explanations.

Regulated power supply for current up to 1 ampere
Rice. 4.6. Electrical diagram of the power supply (click to enlarge)

The chip inside has overcurrent protection and allows you to dissipate power up to 10 watts on the radiator.

In the manufacture of a universal power supply with output voltage regulation over a wide range, in order to provide a lightweight mode for the power transistor, a network transformer with a sectioned secondary winding is often used. In this case, the transformer taps are connected manually using a switch, depending on the level of the output voltage, so that the difference between the input and output is not very large. Instead of a switch, this task may well be performed by an automatic device, highlighted in the figure by a dotted line.

To switch the four taps of the secondary winding of the transformer T1, only two relays with two groups of switching contacts are sufficient.

Relays turn on in a certain sequence. The diagram shows the initial position of contacts K1 and K2 when neither of them is turned on.

The switch has three switching thresholds and the relay operation is controlled as follows:

1) as soon as the output voltage exceeds 7,5 V, relay K1 will turn on;

2) when the level of 15 V is exceeded, relay K2 will operate;

3) when the level of 22,5 V is exceeded, K1 will turn off.

In this case, the voltage taken from the secondary windings of the transformer T1 will increase in steps.

The switching threshold level is determined by the operating voltage of the applied zener diodes (VD4.VD6). In this version of the circuit for KS175A zener diodes, it is 7,5 V. This allows you to change the voltage from 1,5 to 30 V at the output of the power supply with only one regulator (R6).

The circuit eliminates the bounce of the relay contacts during switching and, if the switch is properly installed, it does not need to be configured.

The device used parts: a variable resistor R6 type SPZ-4a, the remaining resistors are MLT or C2-23. Polar capacitor C3 is better to use tantalum, for example, type K52-1B, K53-4A; C1, C2 and C4 can be of any type.

Transistors VT1, VT2 must be with a high gain and can be replaced by KT829 (A.G).

Relays K1, K2 are used for an operating voltage of 24 ... 27 V and must have two groups of switching contacts that allow switching current up to 1 ... 2 A.

For example, these are RPG-8-2602 for 24 V, RES48, RS4.520.203, RES47, RF4.500.407 and some others.

Network transformer T1 can be used from a series of unified. CCI255-220-50, CCI276-220-50, CCI292-220-50. It is also not difficult to make a network transformer based on any transformer iron you have.

Chip DA1 is installed on the radiator. In this case, the radiator should not have electrical contact with the body of the structure, since in DA1 pin 8 is connected to the fastening element of the microcircuit.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Samsung moves to 3nm chip manufacturing 10.07.2020

In August this year, Samsung will start mass production of chips using the 5nm process technology. The first device to be built using this process will be Exynos' own mobile system-on-a-chip, Exynos 992, which is likely to debut as part of the Galaxy Note 20 line of smartphones.

In parallel, TSMC is also launching 5nm chip production, and it has three 5nm technologies in its plans. However, unlike TSMC, Samsung is not going to invest in 4nm technology. The Korean tech giant will skip the 4nm step and jump straight to 3nm, people familiar with the matter say. And this approach is fundamentally different from the plans of TSMC, which intends to master the intermediate 4-nm process technology by 2023.

While Samsung is the only manufacturer that can keep up with TSMC in terms of technology, it continues to lag behind in terms of progress. TSMC has already received orders from companies such as Apple, Qualcomm and Huawei. Samsung does not yet boast such a wide portfolio of contracts, although it has received several orders for mass production of 5nm Qualcomm Snapdragon X60 5G modem chips.

Some orders will also reportedly be transferred to TSMC to minimize risk, gain more effective price leverage and complete shipments on time.

Samsung is expected to support 5nm manufacturing throughout 2021. Moving away from 4nm technology will allow the company to devote more resources to a more advanced manufacturing process. On the other hand, this decision may lead to a churn of customers to TSMC, which can offer an intermediate solution. In many respects it will depend on terms of development of technologies.
