Power Processing Block Diagram

The function of the rectifier circuit is to convert the AC voltage U1 into pulsating DC U2. It mainly includes half-wave and full-wave rectification, which can be executed by a rectifier diode forming a rectifier bridge. Common rectifier diodes include IN4007, IN5148, etc., and bridge stacks include RS210, etc. The function of the filter circuit is to remove the ripple from the pulsating DC U2, transforming it into a smoother DC U3. Common filtering circuits include RC filtering, KL filtering, and π-type filtering, with RC filtering being the most commonly used.

Centralized Rectification Form

In practical application circuits, in addition to connecting large-capacity filter capacitors between the chip’s input and output terminals and ground, it is usually necessary to connect small capacitors (0.1µF to 10µF) Ci and Co to ground at the root of the chip’s lead. Ci is used to suppress the chip’s self-oscillation, while Co is used to narrow the chip’s high-frequency bandwidth and reduce high-frequency noise. The specific values of Ci and Co should vary according to the chip’s output voltage and the application circuit.
