Learning Outcomes
1. Familiarize to Electronics parameters
2. Knowing Electronics law of attraction & repulsion
3. See and observed the biasing condition of a
semiconductor.
4. Experiencing to plot and sketch characteristics
curve.
What we're going to learn today:
1.) What is power supply?
2.) What kind of power is needed for these projects?
3.) What are the fundamental principles of power supply?
4.) What are the basic electronic components used in
power supply circuits?
5.) How do these principles combine to
make interesting things?
 6.) We're going to make some of those things, and you
can take the kit, and the projects home with you.

 Half-Wave Rectifier
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law @ loop1 during
positive half cycle:
Diode is forward biased therefore an
output waveform was established
V

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law @ loop2 during

negative half cycle:
Diode is reversed biased therefore no
output waveform was induced

Full-Wave Rectifier
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law @ loop1 during
positive half cycle:
Diode 1 is forward biased while diode 2
is reversed biased therefore an output
V waveform was established

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law @ loop2 during

negative half cycle:
Diode 1is reversed biased but diode 2 is
forward biased therefore an output
waveform was established

More Equations . . .
Rearranging the previous equations: VP = Vdc + 1.736 Vr
The ripple voltage as a percentage of the dc voltage is:

Vr
% ripple  x100
Vdc
The diode(s) must be rated to withstand the surge current:

VP where RW is the transformer winding’s

I surge  resistance given by:
RW VNL  VFL
RW 
I FL
Other Specifications
A common definition for voltage regulation is:
VNL  VFL
Voltage regulation (%)  x100
VFL
The ability to reduce the output ripple voltage is:
Vr ( out )
Ripple rejection (dB)  20 log
Vr ( in )
Vo
Source resistance of regulator is: Rs   or m
