Rectifier Circuits

 Most electronic equipment requires DC voltages to operate properly. Since


most equipment is connected to the 230-Vac power line, this AC voltage must
somehow be converted to the required DC value.
 The most important components in power supplies are rectifier diodes, which
convert AC line voltage to DC voltage
Rectifier Circuits

 There are three ways these rectifier circuits can be assembled.


 Half-wave rectifier
 Full-wave rectifier (Center-tapped)
 Full-wave bridge rectifier

Half-Wave Rectifier

Frequency of the Output Waveform


 By definition, a cycle includes the variations between two successive points
having the same value and varying in the same direction.
Half-Wave Rectifier

PIV (Peak Inverse Voltage)


 During the negative alternation of secondary voltage, the diode D1 is off
because it is reverse-biased.
