Preregulator
Don Fielder, Hewlett-Packard control


In the JanuarylFebruary issue of
Bench Briefs we saw that one of the
Series regulator
major considerations of a linear
supply is the internal power dis-
sipated by the series regulator. o < = 1

We found that by adding a pre-
regulator t o control the voltage
input, we could reduce the power
dissipated a n d t h e number of
transistors in the series regulator. OUT

c What the Preregulator Does

The preregulator, as shown in

adjusts the input Vin to maintain

approximately three volts. This
regulator voltage is held relatively
constant regardless of input o r
output conditions. Therefore, when
troubleshooting a unit that has no
control (either locked up or down),
in almost every case, if you have
any output the preregulator circuit
is probably operating properly. If
you have no output but do have
regulator voltage (three to six volts),
again no problem with the pre-
regulator. ONLY when you have
BOTH no output AND no regulator
voltage (<1volt) should you suspect
the preregulator.

How the Preregulator Works

capacitor. This causes a dc shift in
the B waveform as shown in Figure 3.
As the waveform goes in a pos-
itive direction through the firing
threshold (approximately -0.6V), the
pulse generator is "reset." When the
waveform goes negative through
this threshold, the pulse generator B
fires and produces a pulse that turns
on triac CR1. By increasing the dc FIRING THRESHOLD

Another important aspect of this
circuit is t h a t when you pull C
positive, no pulses are produced and
the input line is effectively turned
off. This feature is used to disable
t h e input under certain fault
conditions. One example is when the
crowbar fires. Not only is the output
shorted but the input is turned off
a t the same time.

Keep this feature in mind when
troubleshooting a supply with no L
r e g u l a t o r voltage. One of t h e Figure 4. Example of normal series regulator voltage waveform when the regulator is

regulator operating in its linear
' region, the regulator voltage is set
s o there is some "margin." This
margin ensures t h a t the "valley
voltage" never drops below the
saturation voltage "Vsat" of the
transistors. If the regulator voltage
goes low as shown in Figure 5, the
transistors saturate and clip the
bottom of the waveform. The clipped
portion then appears on the output
of the supply as high ripple at twice
the line frequency. Therefore, when
troubleshooting a unit with high
ripple, check the regulator voltage Figure 5. Series regL.Ator voltage is low which causes the transistors to saturate and
clip the bottom of the waveform. The clipped portion appears on the supply output as

And remember, when making the -6.2 -6.2

setting the regulator voltage too

that eliminates this problem.

Resistors R24 and R25 compare the
voltage across the regulator to the
-6.2 volt reference. When the reg-
ulator voltage exceeds a preset level

and places R26 in parallel with the
