Lab
9 Frequency Response and Voltage Multipliers.
Outcome
of this lab:
1.
Be able to performe AC analysis with RC circuits.
2. Be able to design and build a voltage multiplier.
Tasks:
1.
Use
the RC circuits below, calculate
quantitatively, the amplitude and the time delay. Hand-draw the input
and the output in the same diagram. Put your calculation,
simulation, and measurement in a table for comparison. (The capacitance
and the resistance doesn't have to be exactly the same as the ones in
the schemtic. As long as they are close, pick up the ones available in
the lab).
2. A
voltage multiplier is an electrical circuit that converts AC electrical
power from a lower voltage to a higher DC voltage, typically using a
network of capacitors and diodes. Voltage multipliers can be used to
generate a few volts for electronic appliances, to millions of volts
for purposes such as high-energy physics experiments and lightning
safety testing. (Super
practical and useful).
Build the following circuit in LTSpice and on a breadboard. Report the results.
