VOLTAGE REGULATOR CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering; motor-car electrical equipment. SUBSTANCE: voltage-regulator circuit arrangement meant for use in conjunction with ac generators provided with rectifier diodes mainly for motor- car-electrical equipment has ac generator and rectifier unit built of three forward-polarity rectifier diodes, there reverse-polarity rectifier diodes, and three additional diodes, ac generator field winding, storage battery, ignition lock switch, incandescent pilot lamp, temperature-sensing reference-voltage source, square-pulse generator, logic circuit of five connected series T flip-flops, resistive matrix, voltage comparator, resistive voltage divider, control device incorporating flip-flop, matching device, dropping diode, and output n-p-n transistor. EFFECT: improved control characteristics, enhanced reliability due to reduced dissipation power and semiconductor chip temperature. 1 cl, 2 dwg
