A more usual alternative to a filter, and essential if the DC load requires a very smooth supply voltage, is to follow the filter capacitor with a voltage regulator which we will discuss in section 6.
The filter capacitor needs to be large enough to prevent the troughs of the ripple getting below the drop-out voltage of the regulator being used. The regulator serves both to remove the last of the ripple and to deal with variations in supply and load characteristics.
It would be possible to use a smaller filter capacitor which can be large for high-current power supplies and then apply some filtering as well as the regulator, but this is not a common design strategy. The extreme of this approach is to dispense with the filter capacitor altogether and put the rectified waveform straight into an inductor input filter.
The advantage of this circuit is that the current waveform is smoother and consequently the rectifier no longer has to deal with the current as a large current pulse just at the peaks of the input sine wave, but instead the current delivery is spread over more of the cycle. The downside is that the voltage output is much lower - approximately the average of an AC half-cycle rather than the peak.
The simple half wave rectifier can be built in two versions with the diode pointing in opposite directions, one version connects the negative terminal of the output direct to the AC supply and the other connects the positive terminal of the output direct to the AC supply.
By combining both of these with separate output smoothing capacitors it is possible to get an output voltage of nearly double the peak AC input voltage, figure 6. This also provides a tap in the middle, which allows use of such a circuit as a split rail positive and negative supply. A variant of this is to use two capacitors in series for the output smoothing on a bridge rectifier then place a switch between the midpoint of those capacitors and one of the AC input terminals.
With the switch open this circuit will act like a normal bridge rectifier with it closed it will act like a voltage doubling rectifier. Zener diodes are widely used as voltage references and as shunt regulators to regulate the voltage across small circuits.
When connected in parallel with a varying voltage source, such as the diode rectifier we just discussed, so that it is reverse biased, the zener diode conducts when the voltage reaches the diode's reverse breakdown voltage.
From that point on, the relatively low impedance of the diode keeps the voltage across the diode at that value. In the circuit shown in figure 6. The reverse bias breakdown voltage of diode D Z is stable over a wide current range and holds V OUT relatively constant even though the input voltage may fluctuate over a fairly wide range.
Because of the low impedance of the diode when operated like this, series resistor R S is used to limit current through the circuit. In the case of this simple reference, the current flowing in the diode is determined using Ohm's law and the known voltage drop across the resistor R S. A load may be placed across the diode in this reference circuit, and as long as the zener stays in reverse breakdown, the diode will provide a stable voltage source to the load. Zener diodes in this configuration are often used as stable references for more complicated voltage regulator circuits involving buffer amplifier stages to supply large currents to the load.
Shunt regulators are simple, but the requirements that the ballast resistor, R S , be small enough to avoid excessive voltage drop during worst-case operation low input voltage concurrent with high load current tends to leave a lot of current flowing in the diode much of the time, making for a fairly inefficient regulator with high quiescent power dissipation, only suitable for smaller loads. These devices are also encountered, typically in series with a base-emitter junction, in transistor stages where selective choice of a device centered around the avalanche or zener point can be used to introduce compensating temperature co-efficient balancing of the transistor PN junction.
An example of this kind of use would be a DC error amplifier used in a regulated power supply circuit feedback loop system. As a side note: zener diodes are also used in surge protectors to limit transient voltage spikes. Another notable application of the zener diode is the use of noise caused by its avalanche breakdown in a random number generator that never repeats. We need to determine the nominal input voltage and it must be a few volts greater than V Z. For the circuit shown, if the power supply voltage V IN increases, the voltage across the load resistor R L will:.
For the circuit shown, if the power supply voltage V IN decreases, the voltage across the load resistor R L will:. For the circuit shown, if the power supply voltage V IN increases, the voltage across the series resistor R S will:.
For the circuit shown, if the power supply voltage V IN increases, the current through the load resistor R L will:. For the circuit shown, if the power supply voltage V IN decreases, the current through the zener diode D Z will:. Current in AC circuits literally alternates -- quickly switches between running in the positive and negative directions -- but current in a DC signal only runs in one direction.
So to convert from AC to DC you just need to make sure current can't run in the negative direction. A half-wave rectifier can be made out of just a single diode. If an AC signal, like a sine wave for example, is sent through a diode any negative component to the signal is clipped out. A full-wave bridge rectifier uses four diodes to convert those negative humps in the AC signal into positive humps. DC signals.
If you tore apart a wall-wart , you'd most likely see a handful of diodes in there, rectifying it up. Can you spot the four diodes making a bridge rectifier in this wall-wart?
Ever stick a battery in the wrong way? Or switch up the red and black power wires? If so, a diode might be to thank for your circuit still being alive. A diode placed in series with the positive side of the power supply is called a reverse protection diode.
It ensures that current can only flow in the positive direction, and the power supply only applies a positive voltage to your circuit. This diode application is useful when a power supply connector isn't polarized, making it easy to mess up and accidentally connect the negative supply to the positive of the input circuit. The drawback of a reverse protection diode is that it'll induce some voltage loss because of the forward voltage drop. This makes Schottky diodes an excellent choice for reverse protection diodes.
