Series Current

IS= VIN – VZ / RS….. (Ohm’s Law Again)

Load Voltage

VVZ

Change in Load Voltage

∆VL = IZ x RZ

Output (Regulated) Voltage

VOUT= VIN – IR = VIN – (IZ + IL) / RS = (VIN – IS) / RS

Load Current

IL = VL / RL

Zener Current

IZ = IS – IL

Output ripple

VR (OUT)  VR (IN) x (RZ/RS)

Maximum Series resistance

RS (MAX) = RL (MIN) x [(VIN (MIN) / VZ) -1]

Maximum Series resistance

RS (MAX) = RL (MIN) x [(VIN (MIN) – VZ) / IL(MAX)]

Or Series Resistance

RS = (V– Vout) / (IZ + IL= (V– Vout) / (IS)

Value of Resistor

R = [(VIN (MIN)– VOUT) / (IL + 10)]

Power of Resistor

RP = (VIN (Max) – Vout) 2­­ / R

  1. To calculate Vout , we need Rs
    VOUT= Vin – Ir = Vin – (Iz + IL) / Rs = (Vin – Is) / Rs

    and then to calculate Rs We need V out again

    RS = (VL – Vout) / (IZ + IL) = (VL – Vout) / (IS)

  2. The voltage flowing in the zener diode of a regulator circuit is a negative voltage or that its electrons flowing. If it’s a negative voltage, then load voltage is it positive or negative?
