Solved Problems - Ch.

Solution:
In This case,
IZ=50 mA > IZT = 25 mA

I Z = I Z I ZT
I Z 50 mA 25 mA= +25 mA
=
V Z =
I Z Z Z =
( +25 mA )(15 )

=+25 103 A (15 ) =

+0.375 V
V Z =V Z V ZT
V ZT + V=
V=
4.7 V + 0.375 =
V 5.075 V
Z
Z

Solution:
The change in zener voltage is

=
V Z V Z |25 oC TC T

=6.8 V 0.0004 / oC 70 oC 25 oC
=

0.1224
V
=

122.4 mV

Notice that +0.04%/oC was converted to 0.0004/oC.

Since,

V Z= V Z 70C V Z 25C

Then, the zener voltage at 70 oC is

V Z 70C =
V Z +V Z 25C
= 0.1224 V + 6.8 V
= 6.9224 V

Solution:
Firstly, Find VOUT or VZ at IZ =40 mA

V Z =
I Z Z Z =
0.3 V
( 40 mA 30 mA )( 30 ) =
V OUT= V =
V ZT + V Z
Z
= 12 V + =
V Z 12 V + 0.3=
V 12.3 V
R

V IN V Z 18 V 12.3 V
=
= 142.5 143
IZ
40 mA

Solution:
It is known that,

V OUT= V =
V ZT + V Z
Z
=12 V + 0.3 V =12.3 V

Solution:
IL is maximum when IZ is minimum. So find VZ(min) at IZK
V Z( min=
) V ZT V Z
= V ZT I Z Z Z
5.1 V ( 49 mA 1 mA )( 7 )
=
= 5.1 V 0.336 = 4.764 V
V=
V IN V Z( min )
R
8.0 V 4.764 V =
3.236 V
=

Now find total current, IT in the circuit

I=
T

V R 3.236 V
=
= 147.091 mA
R
22

IT =
I ZK + I L( max )

I T - I ZK
I L( max ) =

I L( max ) = 147.091 mA 1.0 mA =

146.091 mA

IL is minimum when IZ is maxmum. So find VZ(max) at IZM

V Z( max=
) V ZT + V Z
= V ZT + I Z Z Z
5.1 V + ( 70 mA 49 mA )( 7 )
=
5.1 V + 0.147 V =
5.247 V
=
V=
V IN V Z( max )
R
8.0 V 5.247 V =
2.753 V
=

Now find total current, IT in the circuit

I=
T

V R 2.753 V
=
= 125.136 mA
R

I T =+
I ZM I L( min )

I L( min ) = I T - I ZM

I L( min=
= 55.136 mA
) 125.136 mA 70.0 mA

Solution:
Refer to Ch.2

% Load regulation

Solution:
Refer to Ch.2

With no load and V IN = 6 V:
