Weekly Progress
I was Power Supply circuit design responsible. In duration 2 last week ago, I have worked as
follows:
1. Found the information about battery, and I choose to use battery LI-PO
(Lithium-ion Polymer Battery) because it is small (W x L x T = 44 x 67 x 10.7
mm), light, and can distribute current more than its capacity so much. (Page 5)
2. Designed charger circuit by using LM317 because I can vary output voltage
from 1.2 V to 37 V
3. Bought the battery and electronic devices to make an experiment of Power
Supply circuit. (Details of the experiment on page 2 to 4)
4. Design PCB of charger circuit. (Page 4)
5. Approximated of budget (Page 5)
Engineering Analysis
Strong Point
- Both charger circuit, and power supply 5 V and 6 V can operate.
- Size of PCB and battery can put into product.
Week Point
- LM317 in charger circuit is too hot. I think that may be cause of high current to charge
battery.
- IC regulator 7806 cannot retain output voltage when input voltage decrease <7.2 V
Next Week Job
- Design new charger circuit by add current regulator circuit to solve the problem about
temperature.
- Design alarm circuit when output voltage of 7806 less than 6 V.
- Design new PCB of charger circuit.

2. Power supply 5 V and 6 V circuit test
Object
- To ensure that 7.4 V of input voltage can generate output voltage 6 V and 5 V by
IC regulator 7806 and 7805
- To find critical input voltage that the IC regulator cannot retain output voltage to
6 V and 5 V
Test circuit
Fig 2 Power supply 5 V and 6 V circuit by using LM317 to generate voltage apply to
input of 7806 and 7805
Results
Vin Vout 7806 (J2) Vout 7805 (J3)
6.8 V 5.6 V 5.15 V
7.0 V 5.8 V 5.15 V
7.2 V 6V 5.15 V
7.4 V 6.2 V 5.15 V
7.6 V 6.4 V 5.15 V
7.8 V 6.4 V 5.2 V
Summary
IC regulator 7805 can retains voltage output well while IC regulator 7806 will retain
certainly output voltage at input voltage >=7.2 V. So if we use two series of 3.7 V to make
voltage 7.4 V and apply to input of IC regulator, we can generate output voltage 6 V and 5 V.
However, we have to ensure that Gas sensor (use supply voltage 6 V) can operate with this
condition.
