List of Electronic/Electrical Projects

1. +5V, +12V or +15V fixed Power Supply.

Your Project Manager has instructed you to Design, build and test a fixed DC Power Supply to be used on the Test Bench for testing other prototypes. It must have very low output Ripple voltage and consistently provide a Stable Output Voltage. You can use Dedicated Voltage Regulator IC's or use Transistors and Zener Diodes instead.

2. +5V, +12V or +15V variable Power Supply.

Your Project Manager has instructed you to Design, build and test a variable DC Power Supply to be used on the Test Bench for testing other prototypes. It must have very low output Ripple voltage and consistently provide a Stable Output Voltage at any adjusted voltage. You can use Dedicated Voltage Regulator IC's or use Transistors and Zener Diodes instead.

3. 5V, 12V or 12V fixed Dual Power Supply (Positive and Negative Supply).

Your Project Manager has instructed you to Design, build and test a variable DC Power Supply to be used on the Test Bench for testing Op Amp Circuits. It can be Fixed or Adjustable type. It must have very low output Ripple voltage and consistently provide a Stable Output Voltage. You can use Dedicated Voltage Regulator IC's or use Transistors and Zener Diodes instead.

4. 4 Bit UP/DOWN Binary Counter.
Your Project Manager hasinstructed you to Design, build and test a 4 BitUP/DOWN Binary Counter to be used in an Analogue to Digital Converter. You will use JK Flip Flops and other Digital Logic Gates. You need to document the entire design process such as State Diagrams, JK transition Table and Karnaugh Maps. You will need to use a SPICE based circuit simulator such as NI Multisim, OrCAD PSpice and Proteus. Ideally once you demonstrated the simulation works you need to make a practical demonstration.

5. Instrumentation Amplifier using Op Amps.
Your Project Manager hasinstructed you to Design, build and test an Instrumentation Amplifier. It needs to be cheap, simple to build and test. You will need to use precision resistors for the Wheatstone Bridge and a microcontroller for Analogue to Digital Conversion and to display the readings on a display.
