In this circuit, a TU31 shunt regulator is utilized to monitor the output voltage. The TU31 activates the LED of a 4N28 optocoupler, which delivers feedback to the MAX641 while ensuring isolation between the input voltage of +12 V and the output voltage of +15 V. Furthermore, the +15 V output is completely regulated in relation to both line and load variations.
This circuit employs a TU31 shunt regulator to accurately sense and regulate the output voltage. The TU31 operates as a voltage reference, ensuring that the output remains stable despite fluctuations in input voltage or load conditions. The 4N28 optocoupler plays a crucial role in this configuration by isolating the feedback mechanism. When the TU31 detects changes in the output voltage, it activates the LED within the optocoupler. This activation sends a signal to the phototransistor side of the 4N28, which in turn communicates with the MAX641 voltage supervisor.
The MAX641 is designed to maintain the output voltage at +15 V, compensating for any variations that may occur due to changes in the input voltage or the load connected to the output. This ensures that the output is not only regulated but also capable of handling dynamic load conditions without significant deviation from the desired voltage level. The isolation provided by the optocoupler is particularly important in applications where safety and signal integrity are paramount, as it prevents any high-voltage spikes from affecting the sensitive control circuitry.
In summary, this circuit effectively combines the TU31 shunt regulator, 4N28 optocoupler, and MAX641 to achieve a robust feedback mechanism that ensures a stable +15 V output, demonstrating excellent performance in terms of line and load regulation. The design is well-suited for applications requiring reliable voltage regulation with the added benefit of electrical isolation.In this circuit, a TU31 shunt regulator is used to sense the output voltage.
