Content

- This project is use microcontroller 18F252. I use this microchip because this powerful 10 MIPS (100 nanosecond instruction execution) yet easy-to-program (only 77 single word instructions) CMOS FLASH-based 8-bit microcontroller packs Microchip's powerful PIC® architecture into an 28-pin package and is upwards compatible with the PIC16C5X, PIC12CXXX, PIC16CXX and PIC17CXX devices and thus providing a seamless migration path of software code to higher levels of hardware integration. 

- The PIC18F252 features a 'C' compiler friendly development environment, 256 bytes of EEPROM, Self-programming, an ICD, 2 capture/compare/PWM functions, 5 channels of 10-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter, the synchronous serial port can be configured as either 3-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI™) or the 2-wire Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C™) bus and Addressable Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (AUSART).
- All of these features make it ideal for manufacturing equipment, instrumentation and monitoring, data acquisition, power conditioning, environmental monitoring, telecom and consumer audio/video applications.

FYP 2 : WEEK 2

Title of activity

- Decide to use the type of power supply

Objective

- To choose the right power supply for support the intelligent fire fighting system circuit.

Content 

- For this project I use the Power supply 110-240 v AC / 12 v DC 120 W 10 A.
- This power supply is built to take 240 v AC from electrical power and supply electrical load 12 v DC to the circuit.
The term is most commonly applied to electric power converters that convert one form of electrical energy to another, though it may also refer to devices that convert another form of energy (mechanical, chemical, solar) to electrical energy.
- This power supply can support all of component that used for this project.
