Design Specifications
Specifications dictate that our supply should be able to provide these standard voltages:
Current provisions should range from 1 to 24 amps 2 wires: Power and Data, Ground Cheap and Inexpensive ($10($10-20) Sensors to determine power, voltage, and current needed for each device We are going to set our own standard DC power supply, trickle capabilities Budget of $500 dollars
Created a system level design in in-depth implementation and optimization Selected the components we need in order to create our power supply verifying with our mentor Parts are on order talked with Maxim representatives More research in order to figure out our exact implementation Ordered microcontroller: Pic chips and Book
Design Scheme
N1 = M1 N2 M2
N1 = Main Supply Input Voltage N2 = Low Voltage Output M1 = Primary Coil Wraps M2 = Secondary Coil Wraps
Design Considerations : Peak Diode Current PIV = Peak Inverse Voltage (Zener Breakdown) that a Diode Can Withstand. Maximum Output Voltage = Vs 1.4 V
Design Considerations: The Value of the Capacitor. The amount of current used by the circuit The frequency of the peaks. Vr = I/2*C*F Vr = Voltage Ripple

We plan on using a gator plug application where the plug itself will shape into any shape and depth
Tasks to Come
Exact specifics on how to transmit a signal using a transformer, and over a communication line Receiver and Driver Implementation Relays, digital switch, SCR, SCS Plug design Building a prototype Buying a black box and cascading the system Testing with Nokia cell phones and disassembling transformers
Transmission Link
MAX1480B Complete Isolated RSRS-485 Data Communication Transceivers, Optocouplers, and a Transformer complete a DIP system HalfHalf -Duplex The output is regulated, RO is low ShortShort -Circuit Current Limited Protected against power dissipation through the use of thermal shutdown that generates a high impedance at the driver output of the circuit
International Rectifier SMPS MOSFET High Frequency Isolated DCDC-DC Converters with Synchronous Rectification UltraUltra -Low Gate Impedance Very Low RDS at 4.5V VGS Fully characterized avalanche voltage and current
The fourfour-layer construction shown to the right is known as a Silicon Controlled Rectifier, or SCR If we ground both the cathode and the gate, and apply a positive voltage to the anode, no current will flow through this device This device acts as a switch that is cheaper than a relay and is able to handle the large power dissipation that we are expecting
The silicon controlled switch (SCS) is the next step beyond the silicon controlled rectifier SCS is the same as for the SCR, with the addition of a second gate lead We thus have an anode, a cathode, an anode gate, and a cathode gate. The equivalent circuit is the same as shown below
PIC Chips
Possibly create our own PIC Chip programmer Comparison between buying and designing Cost versus Time SelfSelf -Implementation could take well over a week Decided on ordering a PIC chip from MCUmart.com PIC16F84APIC16F84A -20/P
Pros:
Comes with ample development storage for our application Rapid Development (either Basic or C can by complied) into native PIC Machine Code Cheap for development stage (EEPROM memory). Plethora of open information about PIC microprocessors
Cons:
Large Footprint Not as Scalable in terms on complexity
