Custom Dual-Mode Power Supply Design

Job ID: 38792857

Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR

1. Unless you have experience in power supply design, avoid bidding.
2. Do not use AI to generate fancy write-ups.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Power supply to be designed.

Modes of operation:
a. Constant Current (CC): User sets the current and the power supply tries to maintain that current by adjusting the voltage.
b. Constant Voltage (CV): User sets the voltage and the power supply tries to maintain that current by adjusting the current.

Output Voltage range (CV mode): 1–300 V
Output Current range (CC mode): 1–500 mA
Timer: 1-999min

Output resolution Voltage: 1 V
Current: 1 mA

Programming resolution:
Voltage: 1 V
Current: 1 mA
Time: 1 min

Accuracy:
Voltage: 5%, ±2 V
Current: 5%, ±4 mA
Timer: 0.1% ±1 min

Line regulation: < 0.5%
Load regulation: < 1% at load change 10-90% of maximum load
Ripple: < 3%
Stability: < 1%/10 h

Mains: 100V-240VAC

Output protection: Fully protected against any overload conditions
Recovery after power failure: The program continues automatically

LCD display (can be graphical 128x64), 16 key alphanumeric keypad, buzzer.
Some 40/44 pin PIC18F (or dsPIC if suited better), preferably.

Maybe have two PCBs: 1st for the power circuit, 2nd for PIC/uC.
Another option: Have 2 different uCs. One handling the power circuit, the other for the user interface. Communicating via opto-coupled IIC/SPI/UART.

Safety features include:
No load / Open-circuit (constant current)
Over load / Short-circuit (constant voltage mode)
Over temperature
Ground leak detection

EEPROM save and recallable: 9 programs (each program stores mode, voltage/current value, timer). Keep saving the timer value when a program is running.

Restart from power off: When system is switched on, was a program running previously before mains supply voltage was shut, mid-timer? If yes, continue from the same timer value.
