The peak-to-peak ripple voltage is double the peak or 1.0V. Assuming that the average rectified DC voltage is 12VDC, the minimum negative peak of the ripple voltage = 12V – 11.5V = 0.5V. Therefore, the valley of the peak-to-peak ripple should be 9V + 2.5V = 11.5V. How large should we make the filter capacitor?įrom the spec sheet, we learn that the dropout voltage of the LM7805 is 2.5V. This is an assumption-in cases where the capacitor is oversize, it will be perhaps 80%, but this is close enough for government work and not very critical.Īssume that we want to make a 9V, 500mA power supply using the LM7809 voltage regulator device, 12V transformer, bridge rectifier and filter capacitor. For half-wave rectification, the ripple frequency is the line frequency. Note that ripple frequency in a full-wave rectifier is double line frequency. Now including the 70% factor we get the final relationship:Ĭ = capacitance in farads, I = current in amps, ΔV = peak-to-peak ripple voltage, F = ripple freq in hZ the time period of a 50hZ waveform = 1 /50hZ = 0.02seconds The delta “Δ” symbol indicates a change, such as a change in voltage or a change in time Q = I * T, I = current flow in amps, Q = charge in coulombs, T = time in secondsį = 1 /T, F = frequency in hZ, T = period in seconds Q = C * V, C = capacitance in farads, Q = charge in coulombs, V = voltage potential Learn these basic relationships-I use them at least weekly… That means the valley of the peak-to-peak ripple voltage may not drop below 14.5V.

For instance, the LM7812 series regulator requires a minimum of 2.5V across it to function within specifications.
By knowing this, the minimum head voltage of a voltage regulator may be easily determined.
Peak-to peak ripple voltage is a most useful parameter. I think this is the first time I was able to create realistic looking sine waves-of course, I have lots of experience with Rfflow. I was surprised how quickly this graphic went together using Rfflow drawing software.
