Schematic

Open project folder on GitHub

Demonstrates a rectifier with zener reference and NPN regulation.

Circuit Summary

A zener diode sets a reference, and an NPN transistor regulates the output.

Expected Behavior

  • Output voltage clamps around the zener setpoint.

How To Run

  1. Open Rectifier-4D-Zener-NPN.kicad_sch in KiCad.
  2. Click Simulate and run the configured analyses.
  3. Add probes to the key nodes to view the expected behavior.

Notes

  • Check how load affects zener current and regulation.
