Hi everyone,

I have a circuit with an input 19.66 V AC RMS and frequency 1Hz.
I have drawn thecircuit diagram for the voltage regulation of 9V DC output, 0.333A output. Could someone help me in figuring out the value of R1, R2, C2 please?

Or if you know if there is easier way to get an output of uniform 9V and 0.333A, please let me know. I am using that output to charge 7 x 1.2 V AA 2700 mAH batteries.

Hope someone can help me in this.

Thank you.

Rajesh.

I'm puzzled, yet fascinated - where do you get 19.66V at 1Hz?

Have you considered purchasing a mains operated charger?

For a constant 333mA current with 1Hz/19Vrms Input, large capacitors would be needed (ridiculously large).

There are also easier designs for a constant current source, such as the LM317 Voltage regulator connected as a current source, shown in it's datasheet.

I know, its not a normal frequency you would see daily. Thing is I have a DC generator connected to the leg with rack and pinion set up and when leg rotates back and forward over in 1 second you get an AC voltage with 1 Hz frequency. You are right thatoneguy, capacitor value im getting with trial and error method using CIRCUIT WIZARD is around 600mF

I just want to know a theoretical way of doing this.

thanks for reply guys.
