Introduction: A bridge rectifier coupled with a step down transformer is used for our design.
Input A.C voltage of 10v,50Hz is being converted to D.C.

Rectifier:- In the power supply unit, rectification is normally achieved using a solid state diode.
Diode has the property that will let the electron flow easily at one direction at proper biasing
condition. Bridge rectifiers of 4 diodes are used to achieve full wave rectification. Two diodes
will conduct during the negative half cycle and the other two will conduct during the positive
half cycle.

Filtering unit:- Filter circuit which is usually a capacitor acts as a surge arrester always follows
the rectifier unit. This capacitor is also called as a decoupling capacitor or a bypass capacitor, is
used not only to short the ripple with frequency to ground but also leave the frequency of the DC
to appear at the output.

Regulators:- The voltage regulators play an important role in any power supply unit. The
primary purpose of a regulator is to aid the rectifier and filter circuit in providing a constant DC
voltage to the device. Power supplies without regulators have an inherent problem of changing
DC voltage values due to variations in the load or due to fluctuations in the AC line voltage.
With a regulator connected to DC output, the voltage can be maintained within a close tolerant
region of the desired output. IC 7805 and 7812 regulators are used in this project for providing a
DC voltage of +5V and +12V respectively.
IC 7805: 7805 is a 5V fixed three terminal positive voltage regulator IC. The IC has features
such as safe operating area protection, thermal shut down, internal current limiting which makes
the IC very rugged. Output currents up to 1A can be drawn from the IC provided that there is a
proper heat sink.

Discussion: By using ± 5V regulated power supply using Proteus; we understand that the voltage
regulators play an important role in any power supply unit. The primary purpose of a regulator is
to aid the rectifier and filter circuit in providing a constant DC voltage. To avoid variations in the
load or due to fluctuations in the AC line voltage, IC 7805 regulator is used.
