Rectifier Circuits
converts an ac voltage to a
pulsating dc voltage • A^ filter
then
eliminates ac components of the
waveform
to produce a
nearly constant dc
voltage output • Rectifier circuits are used in
virtually all
electronic devices to convert the 120-V 60-Hzac power line source to the dc voltages required for operation of electronic devices.• In rectifier circuits,
the diode state changes
with time and a given piecewise linear modelis valid only for a certain time interval

reduce heat dissipation
in diodes. Benefits of
full-

(an extra diode and center-
bridge rectifier eliminates the center-tapped transformer, and the PIV rating of the diodes isreduced

Half-Wave Rectifier with Filter
¾^ A capacitor-input filter willcharge and discharge suchthat it fills in the “gaps”between each peak. ¾^ This reduces variations ofvoltage. ¾^ This voltage variation is calledripple voltage.
Power Supply Circuits^ Filters and Regulators
¾^ The advantage of a full-wave rectifier over a half-wave is quite clear. ¾^ The capacitor can more effectively reduce the ripple when the timebetween peaks is shorter.
