Response to the following problem:
Design a battery-charging circuit, resembling that in Figure (a) and using an ideal diode, in which current flows to the 12-V battery 25% of the time with an average value of 100 mA.
What peak-to-peak sine-wave voltage is required?
What resistance is required?
What peak diode current flows?
What peak reverse voltage does the diode endure?
If resistors can be specified to only one significant digit, and the peak-to-peak voltage only to the nearest volt, what design ould you choose to guarantee the required charging current?
What fraction of the cycle does diode current flow?
What is the average diode current? What is the peak diode current?
What peak reverse voltage does the diode endure?
