Abstract

Automated control of processes are emerging in all spheres as it saves time and energy by providing a significant improvement in productivity and accuracy when compared to the manual methods of controlling processes which require constant human intervention. This paper presents a design of a voltage source that can be programmed using a micro-controller board to control the voltage that needs to be generated. The design is achieved by interfacing the electronic components required along with necessary software tools as a part of an embedded system consisting of the input/output peripherals and a microcontroller. There are two approaches of design, the first approach is based on a Digital to Analog converter and an Operational amplifier, the second approach is based on a MOSFET driver circuit. The circuits are constructed based on the design methodology which is developed with all the components chosen according to desired requirements. The circuits are simulated in Proteus in order to evaluate their performance and the readings are tabulated. The accuracy of both the approaches are computed and it is found that both the approaches have high levels of accuracy.
