Power Supply design -- 3
Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR
The aim of this project is to design a power supply that can generate 0-10V and source a current of 6A, has a small size and has a low number of components. The input of this supply would be derived from a 12V source.
The control of the Power Supply is open for discussion. It can be based purely on software (digital communication between this PCB and the control PCB) or voltage-dependent feedback (ADC/OpAmp based on this PCB, with the control signal generated on the control PCB).
The input 12V is biased at -40kV, and therefore this PCB will be floating at a potential of –40kV. Any mode of communication that is not affected by the fact that this PCB would be floating at –40kV can be implemented. Please discuss the approach to establishing communication after due literature review.
Due to the current supply chain scenarios, component availability is an issue, hence the design should be made using components that are readily available or have short lead times. Also, the components should be in the active phase of their lifecycle, and NOT in End of Life, NRND (not recommended for new design) or obsolete.
Lastly, it is preferable that the PCB work is done on Altium designer.
