Rectifier Circuits

  • A basic rectifier

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

Exercise 2.

  • Determine the current and voltage in a half-waverectifier circuit shown in Fig. Assume V

the peak sinusoidal voltage is V

= 30 V and theS

resistor R = 100 K

Problem 2.

  • The input signal voltage to the full-waverectifier shown in Fig. is

v^ I^

= 160 sin(

ωt).

Assume

V^ γ

= 0.7 V for each diode.

Determine the required turns ratio of thetransformer to produce a peak outputvoltage of 25 V, what would be the diode PIV

ratings.

  • Repeat the problemfor centered tapedfull-wave rectifier

Rectifier Topology Comparison • Filter capacitors

are a major factor in

determining

cost, size and weight

in design of rectifiers

-^ For a

given ripple voltage

, a^

full-wave rectifier

requires

half the filter capacitance as that in a half-wave rectifier

. Reduced peak current can

reduce heat dissipation

in diodes. Benefits of

full-

wave rectification outweigh increased expensesand circuit complexity

(an extra diode and center-

tapped transformer)• The

bridge rectifier eliminates the center-tapped transformer, and the PIV rating of the diodes isreduced

.^ Cost of extra diodes is negligible

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.

Power Supply Circuits^ Filters and Regulators

ripple voltage

¾^ Most electronic applicationsrequire smooth dc currentto operate properly. ¾^ Filtering pulsating dc circuitsaccomplishes this. ¾^ Adding a capacitor to theoutput of a half-waverectifier filters the pulsatingdc into smooth dc.

Power Supply Applications

Filter Networks

¾^ A capacitive filter added tothe output of a full-wavebridge rectifier is shown atthe left. ¾^ One drawback of a half-waverectifier is the higher level of^ ripple voltage

after filtering.

¾^ Full-wave rectificationreduces this ripple voltage.
