Introduction

Background
The Zener diode is like a general-purpose signal diode
consisting of a silicon PN junction. When biased in the forward
direction it behaves just like a normal signal diode passing the rated
current, but as soon as a reverse voltage applied across the zener
diode exceeds the rated voltage of the device, the diodes
breakdown voltage VB is reached at which point a process called
Avalanche Breakdown occurs in the semiconductor depletion layer
and a current starts to flow through the diode to limit this increase
in voltage.
The current now flowing through the zener diode increases
dramatically to the maximum circuit value (which is usually limited
by a series resistor) and once achieved this reverse saturation
current remains fairly constant over a wide range of applied
voltages. This breakdown voltage point, V B is called the "zener
voltage" for zener diodes and can range from less than one volt to
hundreds of volts.
16
The point at which the zener voltage triggers the current to flow
through the diode can be very accurately controlled (to less than 1%
16
until the diodes current falls below the minimum I Z(min) value in the
reverse breakdown region.
The Zener Diode Regulator
Zener Diodes can be used to produce a stabilized voltage output
with low ripple under varying load current conditions. By passing a
small current through the diode from a voltage source, via a suitable
current limiting resistor (RS), the zener diode will conduct sufficient
current to maintain a voltage drop of Vout. We remember from the
previous tutorials that the DC output voltage from the half or fullwave rectifiers contains ripple superimposed onto the DC voltage
and that as the load value changes so to does the average output
voltage. By connecting a simple zener stabilizer circuit as shown
below across the output of the rectifier, a more stable output
voltage can be produced.
Zener Diode Regulator
16
With no load connected to the circuit, the load current will be zero,
( IL = 0 ), and all the circuit current passes through the zener diode
Problem Definition
In our daily life we face some problems in devices which need
less voltage. In this project we will create a solution to solve this
problem so, we are going to convert the voltage from110 to 5 volts.
Constrain
The output should be 5 V.

Used parts
1) Center tap transformer which give output of 12V (rms) and
current of 500 mA.
2) According to the calculations, the value of R is 961.
3) According to the calculations, the value of C is 55.8F we did not
find the exact value in the market. So we choose the closest
value which is 56F.
4) Two silicon diodes Type D1N4148with drop voltage for each is
0.7V.

Conclusion
Accomplishing this project has developed many concepts that we
took in lectures about the electrical components. Also, we face
some difficulties such that confecting all the components on the
breadboard because we get used to connect the electrical
components on specified board in the laboratory. At the end of
this project we gain the knowledge about an important
application of rectifier which it is convert from AC to DC.
