If you have not finished the Power Supply assignment scroll down to the bottom of this page.
Week of 4/20/20
Welcome to the "new" first day of school!
Note:
Communication will now be through Schoology. Please access your Schoology account first. Links to the website (if needed) will be through Schoology. This is a District directive.
We will begin on the 21st with an Introduction to 555 Timers. Look for videos and instruction on Schoology.
There will also be a short 5 question quiz on the 555 specification.
Week of 4/27/20
We will be starting our section on the Monostable 555 Timer. There are a few videos that you need to watch, a few posts and a quiz. Please pay attention to due dates! Use your time wisely!

Online Activities
Hope everyone is well! Here we go!
As promised I have found an online simulator. It's actually by MultiSim. I have created a few circuits and it will do what we need at this time. You also have the option to find a student version of MultiSim for your own computer. The lessons that we cover for the next 3 weeks will be demonstrated using the online version.
You can find the online version at: https://www.multisim.com/
You will have to create an account. You DO NOT NEED the premium version!
I will have a quick tutorial soon. In the mean time please create an account and familiarize yourself with the program.
Here we go!
3/30/2020
We will begin with some notes I put together on Power Supplies followed by the description and construction of a Halfwave rectifier. (which is the beginning of a power supply)
There are 3 short instructional videos to watch. Answer the questions in the notes the best you can.
Notes:
Understanding Power Supplies
Halfwave Rectifiers
Videos:
Understanding Power Supplies
Halfwave Rectifiers
Halfwave Rectifiers (Part 2)
3/31/2020
The videos above were meant to give you an introduction to how we begin to design a power supply. Below are two more short videos that will then led us into the full construction of a power supply over the next two days.
Videos:
Fullwave Rectifiers
Bridge Rectifiers
ALSO
Tomorrow we will be connecting through a Zoom conference. Let's just touch base quickly and answer any questions. You will be able to access the meeting via Schoology. I will post the link under Discussions under your particular class.
The schedule will be as follows:
4th Hour - 10:00am (4/1/2020)
5th Hour - 10:30am (4/1/2020)
See you tomorrow!
Well for 5th hour that did not turn out as expected. I am so sorry! We were hacked at the beginning of our meeting and I turned it off as soon as I could.

Ripple Voltage and Capacitors

Ripple Voltage and Capacitors Video
The next two days spend some time on the videos understanding how we are creating the DC source.
4/3/2020
DC Sources using Zeners
4/4/2020
Adjustable DC Power Supplies
4/13/2020
Hope everyone is healthy and doing well.
As your final assignment on Power Supplies I would like you to design a single power supply circuit that has the ability of supplying 3 separate voltages. 3V, 5V and 9V. Hint, use Zeners! (that's a big hint) Do your best. We will have a Zoom call on Wednesday to discuss. Look for info in the call tomorrow.
4/15/2020
Call today at 11:00 and 12:00. Please look at schoology for the links.
USE YOUR CORRECT NAME OR I WILL NOT LET YOU IN.
