III. Experiment

1.) 5V Power Supply

This part of the experiment aims for the student to learn how to make a simple 5V power
supply in order to generate the necessary voltage for logic gates. Using the 9V battery, LM7805
and some solid wires, construct the circuit as shown in Fig 1.1. Measure the output to
determine the value of Vo.
