Zener shunt regulator (1) Specifying and modeling the Zener diode The i-v curve is shown in Fig. 4.1 that the diode exhibits in the breakdown region and the almost-constant voltage drop that this indicates suggest that diodes operating in the break-down region can be used in the design of voltage regulators. This is an important application of diodes operating in the reverse breakdown region, and special diodes are manufactured to operate specifically in the breakdown region. Such diode are called Zener diodes. Prof. Tai-Haur Kuo, EE, NCKU, Tainan City, Taiwan 4-1 郭泰豪, 成大電機,Electronics Laboratory (1)

In Fig. 4.3, we can use the model in Fig. 4.2 to derive the equation (1) as following: R S rz rz V = + out VZ Vin I L (1) The line regulation is defined as equation (2): Vout rz Line regulation = = (2) V R + r in S Line regulation is a measure of the ability of the power supply to maintain its output voltage given changes in the input line voltage. Line regulation is expressed as percent of change in the output voltage relative to the change in the input line voltage. The load regulation is defined as equation (3): Z Load regulation V = I out L rz = + r Z (3) Load regulation is a measure of the ability of an output channel to remain constant given changes in the load. 2. Clipping circuits Clipping circuits are also called clipper or limiters. Limiters find application in a variety of signal processing systems. One of their applications is in limiting the voltage between the two input terminals of an opamp to a value lower than the breakdown voltage of the transistors that make up the input stage of the opamp circuit. iodes can be combined with resistors to provide simple realizations of the limiter function. A number of examples are depicted in Fig. 4.4 to Fig. 4.9. In each part of the figure both the circuit and its transfer characteristics are given. And in these examples, we assume that the diodes are ideal for simplification. Prof. Tai-Haur Kuo, EE, NCKU, Tainan City, Taiwan 4-3 郭泰豪, 成大電機,Electronics Laboratory (1)
