What kind of chip is Kren5? Stabilizer KR142EN5A. Description, characteristics and connection diagram How to check the bank chip 5 8

I remember in the early 90s, the KR142EN5A stabilizers (or as they were also called KREN5A) were very popular: they were installed in both Spectrum clones and Caller IDs, wherever TTL and 5-volt K-MOS logic worked. Today, KREN5A may seem like a monster in a large TO-220 package, with a large voltage drop (2.5 V), a relatively small current (2 A). Now the space that was previously occupied by KREN5A on the board is enough for a more powerful pulse converter. And if we install a modern linear converter similar to the old one, we will free up enough space. But at that time, the integral linear stabilizer had undoubted advantages over stabilizers based on discrete elements.

I do not advocate using KR142EN5A in new developments, but information on the stabilizer may be needed for repairing old equipment.

Stabilizer KR142EN5A pinout

Previously, when using KR142EN5A, they often used pin numbering from the military analogue 142EN5A in a metal-ceramic package 4116.4-3. The pins were designated as follows: Input – 17, Common – 8, Output – 2. It is correct to number the pins according to the standard for KT-28-2 (TO-220) housings, i.e. so Input – 1, General – 2, Output – 3.

Stabilizer modifications: KR142EN5B, KR142EN5V, KR142EN5G

Surprisingly, the last letter in the designation of the voltage stabilizer KR142EN5 determines not only minor parameters, but such an important parameter as the stabilization voltage: EN5B and EN5G stabilize at the level of 6V! While EH5A and EH5B are 5B. The differences between EH5V and EH5G from EH5A and EH5B are the worse stability of maintaining the output voltage: ±4% versus ±2%.

Analogs

The prototype for the domestic development of KR142EN5A was the A7805T stabilizer from Fairchild Semiconductor. And of course, a large number of similar stabilizers were produced by other companies. The designation usually contains code 7805; it may be preceded by a letter designation characterizing the manufacturer.

Three-terminal voltage stabilizers are either fixed or adjustable. The first ones are designed for a specific output voltage (in our case, 5 V). The second are adjustable stabilizers, which allow you to set the required voltage within the stated limits.

If you do not need to limit the output parameters or configure the signal to non-standard parameters, then pay attention to the KREN 142 fixed voltage stabilizer, which will allow you to use fewer parts and therefore will be the best choice.

Scheme KREN 142

How to choose a current stabilizer? The device should be selected with a rating fairly close to the maximum possible current in the circuit. If the stabilizer is lightly loaded, then stability is often not all right. However, the scheme must be selected optimally and useful in every sense. That is, a rated current with a large margin is also useless, since the short circuit current will also be too large to protect the circuit.

Typical connection diagram KR142en5a

The KR142en5a series stabilizer with a constant positive output voltage of 5 V is widely used in a wide variety of electronic devices. Its scope of use is as a power source for logical systems, high-precision reproduction devices and other radio-electronic devices. The electrical circuit of KR142EN5A is shown in the figure below.

Capacities C1, C2 play a corrective role. C2 is designed to smooth out ripple, and C1 is designed to protect against possible high-frequency excitation of the microcircuit. The load current of the stabilizer is rated up to 2 A.

If you add auxiliary parts to the circuit, you can convert it into a voltage-regulated source. When KREN 142 is located remotely (with a connecting wire length of one meter or more) from the filtering capacitors of the rectifier, a capacitor should be connected to its input. An external divider is used to regulate the output voltage. For proper operation of the device, the use of an additional radiator will be required. These models are analogues of imported regulators of the 78xx series.

Pinout and connection diagram

The KR142en5a microcircuit is designed for a maximum current of 5 A, and it can provide it. But excess current threatens to damage the device. Below is an option for turning on the microcircuit. It is allowed to install the microcircuit twice and dismantle it once.

The circuit is fastened to the printed circuit board by unsoldering the case pins, see the pinout of the microcircuit in the figure.

Stabilizer characteristics

The kr142en5a microcircuit is a compensation-type stabilizer with an adjustable output voltage of positive polarity.

Main characteristics:

overheat protection;
short circuit current limitation;
weight no more than 1.4 g;
dimensions 14.48x15.75 mm.

Limit values of operating mode parameters and environmental conditions:

Storage temperature -55 ... +150 C;
Crystal temperature in operating mode -45 ... +125 C.

Roll stabilizer8b

Currently, integrated voltage stabilizers are quite widespread. Power supplies using such stabilizers have a small number of additional elements, low cost and have excellent technical characteristics. The linear roll stabilizer 8b is one of the most common domestically produced options, which is an analogue of the imported stabilizers of the 78xx line.

Stabilizer action

The KR1428B stabilizer makes it possible to supply each board of a complex device with a separate stabilizing device and use a common source that is not provided with stabilization to power it.

Since the failure of one of the stabilizers leads to the failure of only the unit connected to it, this increases the overall reliability of the devices. Also, this connection scheme was able to solve the problem of combating pulsed noise and interference from long supply wires.

You should be aware that exceeding the current value for which the device is designed may result in failure of the stabilizer. However, modern stabilizers have current protection - if the maximum current load is exceeded, they simply turn off.

The disadvantages of linear stabilizers include strong heating under increased load. Thus, an increase in the input voltage entails overheating of the stabilizer. When developing the Kren8b stabilizers, this problem was solved by providing overheating protection.

Specifications:

The KR1428B stabilizer has the following characteristics:
permissible output current 1 Ampere;
presence of internal thermal protection;
protected output transistor;
no need for external components;
internal limitations of short circuit currents.

Application

Such a stabilizer can be used in devices such as:

in radio-electronic devices as a power source for logical systems;
in high quality playback devices;
in measuring instruments.

By adding additional elements to typical circuits, you can turn the stabilizer from a voltage source into a source with regulation of both voltage and current.

If the length of the connecting wires of the stabilizer with filtering rectifier condensates exceeds 1 meter, then an electrolytic capacitor must be installed at its input.

Choosing a linear stabilizer Kren1428b will help solve the problem of voltage stabilization in a wide range of radio-electronic and other devices and will extend the life of the devices.

The 12-volt bank voltage stabilizer, located in the power supply, is an important component of electronic equipment. Not so long ago, such units were based on zener diodes and transistors, which were replaced by specialized microcircuits.

The advantages of such circuits are the ability to operate in wide ranges of output current and output voltage, as well as the presence of a system that protects against electrical overloads and overheating - if the permissible temperature value of the microcircuit crystal is exceeded, the output current is stopped.

Specifications

The main characteristics of the 12 volt roll stabilizer include:

no need for additional external components;
presence of an internal thermal protection system;
the presence of a protective circuit for the output transistor;
internal short circuit current limiters;
lightness and small dimensions.

The output current in Kren 12 stabilizing devices can be 1 or 1.5 A, the maximum voltage is 30 or 35 V. The difference between the input voltage and the output voltage in such stabilizers is always the same and is 2.5 V.

KR142EN12A

The KR142EN12A stabilizer and its analogue LM317 are adjustable stabilizing devices of the compensation type. They work with an external voltage divider in the measurement element, which allows regulation of the output voltage in the range of 1.3 V - 37 V.
The control element is located in the positive power wire. The load current limit does not exceed 1 A.

These stabilizers are considered the most “high-voltage” in the K142 line and are highly resistant to pulsed power overloads. They also have a system that protects against output overcurrent.

The device is protected by a plastic housing with a built-in extended flange for heat dissipation. The mass of such devices does not exceed 2.5 g.

Application

12V stabilizers are widely used in electronic device circuits as components of their power supply sources. This can be household and measuring equipment, electronic equipment and other structures.

These stabilizers are also used by car enthusiasts when it is necessary to limit the battery charging current, check the power source, and install LED strips in car headlights to avoid frequent LED burnout.

The simplicity of the circuit design of the stabilizer makes it easy to use even for the average person who does not have special knowledge.

Conclusion

A KREN type stabilizer is a radio-electronic product, the main purpose of which is to equalize the output voltage. The device is equipped with current protection, which turns off the device when the threshold current in the load is exceeded, and overheating protection. The microcircuit has a low cost and good technical characteristics.

Often radio amateurs are faced with the problem of obtaining a stabilized power supply with high current. But the simplest cranks cannot withstand such currents. I propose a circuit that can pass a current of up to 7.5 Amps at a voltage of 12V ± 0.1V. The device consists of a power transformer, a diode bridge (at least 10 Amperes), two capacitors for ripple suppression, a KT818G transistor, a KREN8A stabilization chip, and a 43 Ohm resistor.

Device operation:
When the device operates without load, current flows through the diode bridge, capacitors, and stabilization chip. At the output we get 12V. When the circuit is loaded, for example, by a low-frequency amplifier, the KT818G transistor opens, and the entire load flows through it, bypassing the stabilization chip. Thus, the stabilization chip performs only the stabilization function.

The stabilization chip and the transistor must be mounted on radiators, either on two different ones, or on one, but then they will have to be isolated.

The circuit uses radio components:
First of all, you need a power transformer
Diode bridge (from 8A - 10A) (no less - more is possible)
Electrolytic capacitors: 100 µF* 35V, 1000 µF * 16V.
Resistor 43 Ohm (0.5 W) no less - more is possible
Transistor KT818G
Stabilization chip KREN8A
Cost about 100 rubles. (without transformer)

In the diagram, parts can be replaced with analogues.
The radiators may also get a little warm - this is acceptable.

Device diagram

The circuit shown in Figure 1 is an adjustable voltage stabilizer and allows you to obtain an output voltage in the range of 1.25 - 30 volts. This allows you to use this stabilizer to power pagers with 1.5 volt power supply (for example Ultra Page UP-10, etc.), and to power 3 volt devices. In my case, it is used to power the “Moongose PS-3050” pager, that is, the output voltage is set to 3 volts.

Circuit operation

Using variable resistor R2, you can set the required output voltage. The output voltage can be calculated using the formula Uout=1.25(1 + R2/R1).
A microcircuit is used as a voltage regulator SD 1083/1084. Without any changes, you can use Russian analogues of these microcircuits 142 KREN22A/142 KREN22. They differ only in output current and in our case this is not significant. It is necessary to install a small heatsink on the microcircuit, since at low output voltage the regulator operates in current mode and heats up significantly even at idle.

Device installation

The device is assembled on a printed circuit board measuring 20x40mm. Since the circuit is very simple, I do not provide a drawing of the printed circuit board. Can be assembled without a board using surface mounting.
The assembled board is placed in a separate box or mounted directly in the power supply case. I placed mine in the housing of a 12 volt AC-DC adapter for cordless phones.

Note.

You must first set the operating voltage at the output of the stabilizer (using resistor R2) and only then connect the load.

Switchable stabilizer for 1.5/3 volts on the LM317LZ chip

This is one of the simplest circuits that can be assembled on an affordable chip. LM317LZ. By connecting/disconnecting a resistor in the feedback circuit, we get two different voltages at the output. In this case, the load current can reach 100 mA.

Just pay attention to the pinout of the LM317LZ chip. It is slightly different from the usual stabilizers.

A simple stabilizer on the AMS1117 chip

A simple stabilizer for various fixed voltages (from 1.5 to 5 volts) and current up to 1A. can be assembled on a microcircuit AMS1117-X.X (CX1117-X.X)(where X.X is the output voltage). There are copies of microcircuits for the following voltages: 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, 2.85, 3.3, 5.0 volts. There are also microcircuits with adjustable output designated ADJ. There are a lot of these chips on old computer boards. One of the advantages of this stabilizer is its low voltage drop - only 1.2 volts and the small size of the stabilizer adapted for SMD installation.

It only requires a couple of capacitors to operate. For effective heat removal under significant loads, it is necessary to provide a heat removal pad in the area of the Vout terminal. This stabilizer is also available in TO-252 package.

Stabilizers KREN 142

KREN series KR142EN5-9 stabilizers with a constant positive output voltage in the range of 5-27V are widely used in a wide variety of electronic devices. The voltages that can be obtained using these KREN 142 stabilizers allow them to be used in power supplies for household radio electronics, industrial devices, measuring equipment, etc.
By adding additional elements to typical switching circuits, you can turn these fixed voltage sources into sources with voltage and current regulation. If the KREN 142 stabilizer is located far (the length of the connecting wires is 1 meter or more) from the filter capacitors of the rectifier, then an electrolytic capacitor must also be installed at its input. These stabilizers are analogues of imported stabilizers of the 78xx series.

The commercially produced voltage stabilizer microcircuit of the KR142EN series has a small number of additional parts, is characterized by low cost and good technical characteristics.

These properties have greatly simplified the task of creating stabilized power supplies for electronic devices.

The microcircuit of this series was produced in several modifications: with adjustable and fixed output voltages. The most widely used series is 142EN5...8.

(with a fixed output voltage from 5 to 12 Volts). Moreover, after the digital designation, a letter index was also placed on the microcircuit, indicating the type of parameters.

So, for example, the KR142EN8A microcircuit has a fixed output voltage of 9 Volts,

And KRE142EN8B is already 12 Volts.

Application of microcircuit stabilizers series 142, K142, KR142 (KREN)

142EN1, 142EN2, 142EN3, 142EN4

A. Shcherbina, S. Baltiy, V. Ivanov

In recent years, integrated voltage stabilizers have become widespread. Power supplies based on them are distinguished by a small number of additional parts, low cost and good technical characteristics. It has become possible to equip each board of a complex device with its own voltage stabilizer (SV), and therefore use a common unstabilized source to power it. This significantly increased the reliability of such devices (failure of one voltage supply leads to failure of only the unit that is connected to it), and largely eliminated the problem of dealing with interference from long power wires and impulse noise generated by transient processes in these circuits. Currently, the industry produces a wide range of microcircuits of the 142, K142 and KR142 series. They include...

If a non-standard value of a stabilized output voltage or its smooth regulation is required, it is convenient to use specialized adjustable microcircuit stabilizers that maintain a voltage of 1.25 V between the output and the control pin. Their list is presented in table. 2, and a typical connection diagram for stabilizers with a control element in the positive wire is in Fig. 3. Resistors R1 and R2 form an external adjustable voltage divider, which is included in the circuit for setting the output voltage level Uout equal to Uout=1.25(1+R2/R1)+Ipot*R2, where Ipot=50...100 μA - own current consumption of the microcircuit. The number 1.25 in this formula is the above-mentioned voltage between the output and the control terminal, which maintains the stabilizer in operating mode.

Please note that, unlike stabilizers for a fixed output voltage, adjustable...

Microcircuit voltage stabilizers for wide application (KREN and analogues)

MICROCIRCUIT VOLTAGE STABILIZERS FOR WIDE APPLICATION (KREN AND ANALOGUES)

One of the important components of electronic equipment is the voltage stabilizer in the power supply. More recently, such units were built on zener diodes and transistors. The total number of stabilizer elements was quite significant, especially if it was required to regulate the output voltage, protect against overload and output short circuit, and limit the output current at a given level.

With the advent of specialized microcircuits, the situation has changed. Manufactured microcircuit voltage stabilizers are capable of operating over a wide range of output voltage and current, often have a built-in protection system against overcurrent and overheating - as soon as the temperature of the microcircuit crystal exceeds the permissible value, the output current is limited.

Currently, the range of domestic...

7.8 Voltage stabilizers on KR142 series microcircuits

The integrated voltage stabilizers of the KR142 series produced by the domestic industry make it possible to obtain stabilized voltages in a fairly large range using simple circuit methods - from a few volts to several tens of volts. Let's look at some circuit solutions that may be of interest to radio amateurs.

The KR142EN5A microcircuit is an integrated stabilizer with a fixed output voltage of +5 V. A typical connection circuit for this microcircuit has already been presented in the book (see.

rice. 105). However, by slightly changing the connection circuit, it is possible to build a stabilizer on the basis of this microcircuit with an adjustable output voltage in the range from 5.6 V to 13 V. The circuit is shown in Fig. 148.

The input of the integrated stabilizer (pin 17 of the DA1 chip) receives an unstabilized voltage of +16 V, and pin 8 receives a signal from the output...
