Hello
My prof required us to make a full bridge AC to DC power supply. The input voltage is 230Vrms.
Design Requirements:
Ripple - should not exceed 1vpk-pk
Regulated output should be 3V and 12V
And, Efficiency = 85% <<< Oh, also I dont get this one. Books said that the maximum efficiency for a full bridge rectifier is 81.2%...
Components I currently have:
Step-down transformer (from 220Vrms to 12Vrms)
4 Diodes (1N4001)
Resistor (1k ohms)
Capacitor (1000uF)
Vout = [12(sqrt2) - 2(.7)] x 0.707 = 11.01 (Is my equation correct?). If so, is it means that the values of capacitor and resistor doesn't vary the output voltage?
My main problem here is that I'm having difficulties to achieve the output voltages and the required efficiency. Pls. help me, tnx a lot! ^_^
