    IC 723 Voltage Regulators

     The popular general purpose precision regulator is IC 723. It is a monolithic


    linear integrated circuit in different physical packages. The pin diagram of IC 723
    Voltage Regulator along with the various packages is shown in the Fig. 2.109 (a),
    (b) and (c).

    Features of IC 723:

    1. It works as series voltage regulator and provides +Ve & -Ve voltage.
    2. It provides output voltage ranging from 2 to 37 volts at currents upto 150 mA
    and with external resistor current upto 10A.
    3. It can be used at load currents greater than 150 mA with use of suitable NPN or
    PNP external pass transistors.
    4. Input and output short-circuit protection is provided.
    5. It has good line and load regulation (0.01%).
    6. Wide variety of applications of series, shunt, switching and floating regulator.
    7. Low temperature drift and high ripple rejection.
    8. Low standby current drain.
    9. Small size, lower cost.
    10. Relative ease with which power supply can be designed.
    11. It provides a choice of supply voltage.
    Functional Block Diagram of IC 723:

    The functional block diagram of IC 723 Voltage Regulator can be divided into four
    major blocks:

    1. Temperature compensated voltage reference source, which is zener diode.


    2. An op-amp circuit used as an error amplifier.
    3. A series pass transistor capable of a 150 mA output current.
    4. Transistor used to limit output current.
    The functioning of the above blocks can be explained with the help of a simplified
    functional block diagram of IC 723 Voltage Regulator as shown in the Fig. 2.110.

     Temperature compensated zener diode, constant current source and reference


    amplifier constitutes the reference element. In order to get a fixed voltage
    from zener diode, the constant current source forces the zener to operate at a
    fixed point.

     Output voltage is compared with this temperature compensated reference


    potential of the order of 7 volts. For this Vref is connected to the non-inverting
    input of the error amplifier.

     This error amplifier is high gain differential amplifier. It’s inverting input is
    connected to the either whole regulated output voltage or part of that from
    outside. For later case a potential divider of two scaling resistors is used. Scaling
    resistors help in getting multiplied reference voltage or scaled up reference
    voltage.

     Error amplifier controls the series pass transistor Q1, which acts as variable
    resistor. The series pass transistor is a small power transistor having about 800
    mW dissipation. The unregulated power supply source (< 36V d.c.) is connected
    to collector of series pass transistor.

     Transistor Q2 acts as current limiter in case of short circuit condition. It senses


    drop across Rsc placed in series with regulated output voltage externally.

     The frequency compensation terminal controls the frequency response of the


    error amplifier. The required roll-off is obtained by connecting a small capacitor
    of 100 pF between frequency compensation and inverting input terminals.

    The internal structure can be represented in more simplified form as shown in the Fig.
    2.111.

     Both non-inverting and inverting terminals of the error amplifier are available on
    outside pins of IC 723. Due to this, device becomes versatile and flexible to use.

     Only restriction is that internal reference voltage is 7 volts and therefore we have
    to use two different circuits for getting regulated outputs of below 7 volts and
    above 7 volts.
