The voltage stabilizer
(informal translation)
   The invention concerns to the area of voltage stabilizers and can be used at the power supplies and measuring devices development.

   The linear voltage stabilizer is known. This is a system of automatic control. This stabilizer supports the constant voltage on output with given accuracy. And this voltage does not depend on the parameters of circuit. (1). But this stabilizer has low accuracy of stabilization, because any change of a reference voltage repeats by the output voltage.

   Closest to offered (prototype) is the stabilitrone of forbidden zone, on base "current mirror". It contains divider, stabilitrone with a voltage "of forbidden zone" and comparing circuit with regulating element. In this device for increasing of stabilization accuracy, the voltage of base transition of the transistor sums up with a voltage created by a pair of transistors, working with some ratio of currents density (2).

   Lack of the known device is low accuracy of stabilization, because the parameters of the pair transistors have to be absolutely identical. It limits the accuracy of stabilization.

   The problem of invention - to increase the accuracy of voltage stabilization, irrespective of the circuit parameters.

   This problem is reached by that into the voltage stabilizer (which contains a divider, comparing circuit with regulating element, the output of which is connected to the input of divider, and the first input of comparing circuit with regulating element is for the input voltage) are in addition entered the voltage inverter and voltage to current converter. The input of voltage to current converter is connected to the output of divider, and the output is connected to the input of voltage inverter, the output of which is connected to the second input of comparing circuit with regulating element, and the third input of comparing circuit with regulating element is connected to zero potential (ground).

   The voltage inverter has two resistors and a diode optocoupler. The first end of second resistor is the output of voltage to current converter, and the second end of second resistor is connected to the first end of first resistor and to the anode of radiating diode. The cathode of which is connected to zero potential (ground) and to the anode of photo diode, the cathode of which is connected to the second end of first resistor and is the output of voltage inverter.

   The technical result of invention is to decrease the instability of output voltage, due the external revolting factors (for example the temperature), up to indefinitely small size. It is possible, because the system of regulation does not contain any reference, it finds the zero of variable signal, that is possible to make rather precisely.

   The invention is explained by the diagrams, where:

   The pic.1 has the block diagram of voltage stabilizer.
   The pic.2 has a variant of the voltage inverter.
   The pic.3 has the transfer function of voltage inverter.

   The device contains the comparing circuit with regulating element 1/pic.1/, divider 2, voltage to current converter 3 and the voltage inverter 4. The first input of comparing circuit with regulating element 1 is for voltage Uin, and the output of comparing circuit with regulating element has the output voltage Uout. Uout also is going to the input of divider 2, from the output of which the signal is going to the input of voltage to current converter 3. The output of voltage to current converter is connected to the input of voltage inverter 4, the output voltage of which is going to the second input of comparing circuit with regulating element 1, where it compares with zero potential at the input 3, amplifies and in the necessary phase influences the regulating element.

   The voltage inverter 4 contains the diode optocoupler D1, D2 /pic.2/ and two resistors R1, R2. The first end of R2 is the output of voltage to current converter 3/pic .1/, and the second end of R2 /pic.2/ is connected to the first end of R1 and to the anode of radiating diode D2. The cathode of which is connected to zero potential (ground) and to the anode of photo diode D1, the cathode of which is connected to the second end of R1 and is the output of voltage inverter 4/pic.1/.

   The device works as follows. The input voltage Uin is going to the first input of comparing circuit with regulating element 1/pic.1/ where the part of voltage falls, and from an output of comparing circuit with regulating element the output voltage Uout is going to the divider 2. Uout is the output voltage of stabilizer.

   Divider 2 divides Uout in any given ratio. From the output of divider the signal is going to the input of voltage to current converter 3. The voltage to current converter 3 transforms the voltage of divider Udiv to the current I2. The current I2 is going to the input of the voltage inverter 4, where passes by the circuit R2, D2 /pic.2/.
Current I2 can be described by equation:

Udiv
UR2+UD2
Udiv-UD2
I2=
---------------- =
--------------------- =
------------------- ;
r2+R2
r2+R2
R2

   Where:
   UR2 - voltage across R2;
   UD2 - voltage across D2;
   r2 - internal resistance of D2.

   The passage of a current through the circuit R2, D2 generates a voltage in the photo diode D1 and in the circuit R1, D1. The current I1 is the current across R1, D1. The current I1 creates a voltage failure dUD1 on the diode D1 1/pic.1/, which is going to the second input of comparing circuit with regulating element, where it compares with zero potential at the input 3, amplifies and in a necessary phase influences the regulating element as long as potentials at the inputs two and three (of the comparing circuit with regulating element 1) will not become equal, that will bring system in balance and Uout will be determined, as the function from Udiv. Udiv, from the formula for I2 is defined by dependence: Udiv=UD2 + UR2;
In this condition the voltage inverter transfer function /pic.2/ looks like:

UD2*R2
(Udiv-UR2)*R2
W=
------------------------ =
------------------------- ;
(Udiv-UD2)*R1
UR2*R1
   From the diagram of this function /pic.3/ it is visible, that if for D2 working area of /pic.2/ will correspond, for example, left bottom part of the diagram /pic.3/, then the change of UD2 on size dUD2 will be absolute linearly and opposite by the phase to change UR2 on size dUR2. When the entrance voltage Uin /pic.1/, output voltage Uout, and the circuit parameters changes, Udiv will change on size dUdiv, or UD2 will change on size dUD2, that will effect, that UR2 will change on size dUR2.
This dependence describes by equation:
Udiv±dUdiv=(UD2±dUD2)+(UR2±-dUR2) ;
But if ±UD2±-UR2=0 /pic.3/, then ±dUdiv=0.

   Accordingly the output voltage Udiv of divider 2/pic.1/ always keeps the primary value, which depends only on chosen variant of voltage inverter 4 and ratio of two resistors R1, R2 /pic.2/. So, Uout is a constant.

   Thus, in this system of regulation the output signal of voltage inverter 4/pic.1/, by working the voltage to current converter and the comparing circuit with regulating element 1, compensates up to zero potential. And the accuracy of stabilization raises.
