This linear post regulator provides 12 V at 3 A. It utilizes the TL431 reference (U1), which, without additional amplification, drives the gate of the TMOS MTP3055A (Q1) series pass regulator. A bias voltage is applied through resistor R1 to the gate of Q1, which is protected against overvoltage by diode CR1. Frequency compensation for closed-loop stability is provided by capacitor C1. Key performance features include a dropout voltage of 0.6 V, load regulation of 10 mV, line regulation of ±5 mV, and output ripple of 10 mV peak-to-peak.
The linear post regulator is designed to deliver a stable output voltage of 12 V at a maximum current of 3 A, making it suitable for various applications requiring reliable power supply. The TL431 reference voltage source (U1) serves as a precision voltage reference, ensuring accurate regulation. The absence of additional amplification simplifies the design, reducing component count and potential failure points.
The TMOS MTP3055A (Q1) functions as the series pass element, modulating the output voltage based on the feedback from the load. The gate of Q1 is driven by a bias voltage supplied through resistor R1, which ensures that the MOSFET operates within its optimal range. Diode CR1 is implemented to protect the gate from overvoltage conditions, which could otherwise damage the MOSFET.
Capacitor C1 plays a crucial role in maintaining closed-loop stability by providing frequency compensation. This ensures that the regulator can respond effectively to changes in load conditions without oscillating, thereby maintaining a stable output voltage.
The performance characteristics of the regulator are noteworthy. The dropout voltage of 0.6 V indicates the minimum difference required between the input and output voltages for proper regulation. Load regulation of 10 mV signifies that the output voltage remains stable despite variations in the load current, while line regulation of ±5 mV demonstrates the regulator's ability to maintain output voltage despite fluctuations in the input voltage. The output ripple of 10 mV peak-to-peak reflects the minimal AC voltage variation superimposed on the DC output, indicating effective filtering and regulation.
