Description

<p>This is a circuit design for a typical wall-plug power adapter.</p>

<p>The sinusoidal source represents a typical US 60 Hz, 120V AC wall supply.</p>

<p>A transformer steps the voltage down to a manageable range to be rectified for a 5V DC supply, but the waveform is still sinusoidal.</p>

<p>The 4 diode bridge rectifier takes this lower amplitude sinusoidal signal and produces a DC biased result, but still with noise resulting from the rectification process.</p>

<p>The capacitor before the voltage regulator chip helps smooth some of this noise. Then the regulator chip provides a self-contained, feedback controlled mechanism to keep the output voltage at the specified value.</p>

<p>The output capacitor further smooths any output ripple and provides a reservoir of charge to supply any surge in current load that may be encountered.</p>

<p>This example includes a load resistor that allows the exploration of the effects of load. The load is varied during the simulation and it can be seen that above a load of 100 mA, the regulation of the output voltage begins to deteriorate.</p>

<p>The addition of a few components can make it possible for such a circuit to provide significantly higher power loads. See http://www.systemvision.com/design/ac-dc-power-adapter-current-boost-regulator for an example.</p>

Description

<p><font><font>Dit is een circuitontwerp voor een typische stroomadapter voor een stopcontact.</font></font></p>

<p><font><font>De sinusoïdale bron vertegenwoordigt een typische Amerikaanse 60 Hz, 120V AC-wandvoeding.</font></font></p>

<p><font><font>Een transformator verlaagt de spanning naar een beheersbaar bereik om te worden gelijkgericht voor een 5V DC-voeding, maar de golfvorm is nog steeds sinusoïdaal.</font></font></p>

<p><font><font>De bruggelijkrichter met 4 dioden neemt dit sinusoïdale signaal met lagere amplitude op en produceert een DC-voorgespannen resultaat, maar nog steeds met ruis als gevolg van het rectificatieproces.</font></font></p>

<p><font><font>De condensator vóór de spanningsregelaarchip helpt een deel van deze ruis te verzachten. </font><font>Vervolgens biedt de regelaarchip een op zichzelf staand, feedbackgestuurd mechanisme om de uitgangsspanning op de opgegeven waarde te houden.</font></font></p>

<p><font><font>De uitgangscondensator maakt eventuele uitgangsrimpels verder glad en zorgt voor een ladingsreservoir voor het leveren van eventuele pieken in de stroombelasting die zich kunnen voordoen.</font></font></p>

<p><font><font>Dit voorbeeld bevat een belastingsweerstand waarmee de effecten van belasting kunnen worden onderzocht. </font><font>De belasting wordt tijdens de simulatie gevarieerd en het is te zien dat boven een belasting van 100 mA de regeling van de uitgangsspanning begint te verslechteren.</font></font></p>

<p><font><font>De toevoeging van een paar componenten kan het voor een dergelijk circuit mogelijk maken om aanzienlijk hogere vermogensbelastingen te leveren. </font><font>Zie http://www.systemvision.com/design/ac-dc-power-adapter-current-boost-regulator voor een voorbeeld.</font></font></p>
