Instructions
Answer all questions. Clearly show all the required steps. Scan and upload a single PDF (Showing
all the calculation for theory + simulations problems) along with LT Spice (.asc) files with proper
numbering and include screenshot of the desired output from the LT Spice Simulation.

5 V. Using the transient analysis in SPICE: [10 Marks]

(a) Determine the peak-to-peak ripple at the output.


(b) Determine the peak current flowing through D1 .
(c) Compute the heaviest load (smallest RL ) that the circuit can drive while maintaining
a ripple less than 200m Vpp .

6. (a) Design a bridge rectifier that rectifies a standard AC mains of 230 V (RMS) 50 Hz
and converts it into a 12 V DC power supply assuming a diode ON voltage of 0.7 V.
Determine the transformer turns ratio (N1: N2) required to provide the expected DC
output voltage. For an average DC load current of 2 A determine the load (ripple
filtering) capacitor that can deliver a ripple of (Vr/Vp=5 %). Calculate the peak and
average diode currents when they are conducting ? What are the peak inverse voltages
of the diodes ? Note that the expected diode currents for full-wave-rectifiers (FWR)
will be half of the half-wave-rectifiers (HWR) for a given Vr/Vp. [10 Marks]

a transformer as shown below (Fig. 6.) (for the case of 1:1 transformer). Use a small
resistance in series with L1/L2. Use the diode model IN4148 (or any similar silicon
diode) for your design. Simulate the circuit. Obtain the measured peak voltage Vp ,
ripple voltage Vr , peak diode current and average diode current. Submit the screenshot
