I'm currently deciding on my 3rd year individual project for my Electronic Engineering masters in the UK. I want to design and make a small hobbyist bench power supply, but not like standard ones.
I was thinking along the lines of:
- Very small desk footprint
- Powered from laptop power brick
- Single output with CV and CC
- 0-12V at 0-2A or so
- Switching pre-reg and 'classical' analogue front end
- Small screen (possibly OLED) and rotary encoders for V-set and I-set
- Ability to stack units together to more outputs (and split supply)
- Be very cheap for hobbyist/educational use
What do people think about this style of PSU? I would happily take peoples suggestions as to features to include and the sort of target market/target price you think I should try to hit.
Thanks for your suggestions in advance
Freddie
