Diodes - Rectifiers - Single: LL4448 L0G Application Field and Working Principle

The LL4448 series of low-voltage light emitting diode (LED) rectifiers is a series of single-junction rectifiers that feature low voltage drops, low forward currents and low reverse leakage current. The LL4448 series of rectifiers is suitable for applications such as DC-DC converters, telecommunication systems, and lighting control and power management. This article will discuss the application field, circuit configuration and working principle of the LL4448 series of rectifiers.

Application Field of LL4448 Rectifiers

The LL4448 series of rectifiers is suitable for use in low-voltage applications, such as DC-DC converters, lighting control, and power management. It is capable of safely and reliably standing a peak reverse voltage of up to 24V, and a continuous forward current of up to 10mA. It can effectively reduce the glow effect of LEDs in dimmed lighting, reducing power consumption and increasing the lifespan of the LEDs. It can be used in low power control circuits, such as low power lighting control, switching power supply monitoring, time relays, timers, blinking circuits, negative DC power supply, and generators.

Circuit Configuration of LL4448 Rectifiers

The circuit diagram of an LL4448 rectifier is shown below. The circuit is composed of a reverse-biased rectifier diode, a zener diode, a resistor, and a capacitor. The rectifier diode acts as a bridge between the AC mains and the load. The diode blocks the current from entering the load when the voltage is negative, thus preventing reverse current flow. The zener diode acts to provide voltage regulation for the load, preventing it from exceeding a certain level. The resistor and capacitor act as load current suppressing components.

Working Principle of LL4448 Rectifiers

The working principle of the LL4448 series of rectifiers is based on the flow of minority carried holes, which occurs during rectification. In a forward-biased rectangle such as the LL4448, the majority carries holes flow from the anode to the cathode. The minority carriers, electrons, also flow from the anode to the cathode. As a result, the current is reversed as the voltage across the diode rises above the rated voltage. This reverse current is knowing as the leakage current.

The LL4448 series of rectifiers also incorporates an additional element, a zener diode. The zener diode is connected in parallel to the rectifier diode, ensuring that the voltage across the rectified load does not exceed the threshold voltage of the zener diode. As the voltage across the load decreases, the current through the zener diode increases, thus providing additional protection against overvoltage.

To control the reverse current, a resistor and a capacitor are added to the circuit in an RC network configuration. This network acts to reduce the reverse current by limiting the voltage swing and providing an additional load for the current. The RC network also acts to reduce the surge current in the circuit, ensuring that the diode does not become damaged by the excessive current.

By combining the rectifier diode and the Zener diode with the RC network, the LL4448 series of rectifiers is able to reduce the voltage drop across the load, reduce the forward current, and reduce the reverse leakage current. This makes the rectifier a suitable choice for low-voltage, low-current applications.

Conclusion

The LL4448 series of rectifiers features low voltage drops, low forward currents, and low reverse leakage currents. It is suitable for application such as DC-DC converters, telecommunication systems, and lighting control and power management. The rectifier works by using a combination of a reverse-biased rectifier diode, a zener diode, and an RC network to reduce the voltage drop across the load and reduce the current flow. The LL4448 series of rectifiers is an effective and cost-efficient solution for low-voltage applications.
