Somebody can help me to find a electronic schematic circuit for
building a solid state regulator for dynamo for charge car's battery?

Thanks

Ciao,

Ive seen those designs in some electronic components manufacturers
literature.
Dont know if I still have them around, but maybe.

If you are not capable of designing such a regulator, why do you want to
build
one?  You can buy them off the shelf that are well engineered and developed.

When electronic regulators first came out there were a bunch of articles
in various hobby electronics mags for such circuits.  These articles
also appeared in the annuals for these mags.  Check your local library
to see if they have such "annuals" or compendiums for mags such as
Modern Electronics or Popular Electronics from the seventies.

Try www.epanorama.net , a site with forums and thousands of links to
electronics subjects, or a circuit encyclopedia book, like Modern
Electronic Circuits Reference Manual, by John Markus, which has a
chapter specifically for automotive electronics.

Motorola (now called On Semi), Philips Semiconductor, and ST
Microelectronics make chips for this purpose, and a collection of 555
timer circuits may have a suitable circuit.  But it may be easier to
simply adapt an external alternator regulator, such as one of
Chrysler's for 1970s cars.

I guess the question is, what alternator are we talking about here?  I
do know the Chrysler regulator works on not only the alternators it was
intended for, but earlier Chrysler and Prestolite alternators as well,
and is about $12 at your FLAPS.

By "Dynamo," I assume he is talking about a DC generator rather than an
alternator.

In this case, a series pass regulator built with a 10A power transistor
and a 13.8V reference will go a long way toward keeping your battery from
being overcharged at high speeds.

The circuit for solid state regulators is the same in either case.  Both
are controlled by controlling strength of current in the field coil,
which is DC for either type.  DC is sensed, (after diodes for
alternator), compared to a set point voltage, and any error changes
strength of field current.
