• Zener effect and Zener diode
– When a Zener diode is reverse-biased, it acts
at the breakdown region, when it is forward
biased, it acts like a normal PN junction diode
• Avalanche Effect
– Gain kinetic energy – hit another atom –
produce electron and hole pair
Recall-Lecture 5
• Voltage Regulator using Zener Diode

Example: Half Wave Rectifier
Given a half wave rectifier with input primary voltage, Vp = 80 sin t
and the transformer turns ratio, N1/N2 = 6. If the diode is ideal diode,
(V = 0V), determine the value of the peak inverse voltage.
1. Get the input of the secondary voltage:
80 / 6 = 13.33 V
1. PIV for half-wave = Peak value of the input voltage = 13.33 V
EXAMPLE 3.2
Calculate the transformer turns ratio and the PIV voltages for each type of the full wave
rectifier
a) center-tapped
b) bridge
Assume the input voltage of the transformer is 220 V (rms), 50 Hz from ac main line source.
The desired peak output voltage is 9 volt; also assume diodes cut-in voltage = 0.6 V.
Solution: For the centre-tapped transformer circuit the peak voltage of the
transformer secondary is required
The peak output voltage = 9V
Output voltage, Vo = Vs - V
Hence, Vs = 9 + 0.6 = 9.6V
Peak value = Vrms x 2
So, Vs (rms) = 9.6 / 2 = 6.79 V
The turns ratio of the primary to each secondary winding is
The PIV of each diode: 2Vs(peak) - V = 2(9.6) - 0.6 = 19.6 - 0.6 = 18.6 V
Solution: For the bridge transformer circuit the peak voltage of the transformer
secondary is required
The peak output voltage = 9V
Output voltage, Vo = Vs - 2V
Hence, Vs = 9 + 1.2 = 10.2 V
Peak value = Vrms x 2
So, Vs (rms) = 10.2 / 2 = 7.21 V
The turns ratio of the primary to each secondary winding is
The PIV of each diode: Vs(peak)- V = 10.2 - 0.6 = 9.6 V
