


To reduce the fluctuations in the output voltage of half / full-wave
rectifier – produces constant-level dc voltage.
It is necessary – electronic circuits require a constant source – to
provide power & biasing for proper operation.
Filters are implemented with capacitors.

(Capacitor-Input Filter)
For half-wave rectifier:
• +ve first quarter cycle –diode is FBcapacitor is charge within 0.7V of i/p
peak
load
capacitor
• I/p decreased-capacitor retains its
charge-diode become RB (cathode is
more +ve than the diode)
• Capacitor can discharge through load
resistance – at rate by the RLC time
constant (>> time constant, << capacitor
will discharge)
• Next cycle-diode is FB when i/p voltage
exceeds the Vc by 0.7V
• A capacitor-input filter will charge and
discharge such that it fills in the “gaps”
between each peak. This reduces
variations of voltage. This voltage
variation is called ripple voltage.

(Capacitor-Input Filter)
Ripple Voltage: the variation in the o/p voltage from a filter (due to the
charging and discharging)
The advantage of a full-wave rectifier over a half-wave is quite clear. The
capacitor can more effectively reduce the ripple when the time between peaks
is shorter.
Ripple voltage
– variation in the capacitor voltage due to charging & discharging.

Surge Current in the Capacitor-Input Filter:
Being that the capacitor appears as a short during the initial charging, the
current through the diodes can momentarily be quite high. To reduce risk of
damaging the diodes, a surge current limiting resistor is placed in series with
the filter and load.

2-4 Diode Limiting & Clamping Circuits
(Diode Limiters)
• Diode limiters/clippers – that limits/clips the portion of signal voltage above or below
certain level.
• Limiting circuits limit the positive or negative amount of an input voltage to a specific
value.
• When i/p is +ve – the diode becomes FB – limited to +0.7 V because cathode is at ground.
• When i/p << 0.7 V-diode is RB – o/p voltage likes –ve part of i/p voltage
• Turn the diode around-negetive part of i/p voltage is clipped off.
• When diode is FB-negative part of i/p voltage-diode drop -0.7V

(Diode Limiters)
Biased Limiters :
• The level to which an ac voltage is limited can be adjusted by adding bias voltage
VBIAS in series with diode.
• Voltage at point A : VA = VBIAS + 0.7V (forward-biased & conduct). So, all Vin > VA is
clipped off.
• For –ve level, then VA = -VBIAS - 0.7V to forward-biased.
• Turning diode around, +ve limiter – modified to limit Vout to the portion of Vin
waveform above VBIAS – 0.7V.
• -ve limiter; below -VBIAS + 0.7V.
• by tuning the diode around- the +ve limiter can modified to limit the o/p voltage to
the portion of the i/p voltage waveform above VBIAS-0.7V
• negative limiter – limit the o/p voltage to the i/p voltage below –VBIAS+0.7V

Voltage-Divider Bias:
• The bias voltage source – used to illustrate the basic operation of diode limiters can
be replace by a resistive voltage divider that derives the desired bias voltage from dc
Vsupply .
• VBIAS – set by the resistor values according to the voltage-divider formula:

• The desired amount of limitation can be attained by a power supply or voltage
divider. The amount clipped can be adjusted with different levels of VBIAS.
• The bias resistor << R1- the forward current through the diode – no effect

2-4 Diode Limiting & Clamping Circuits (cont.)
(Diode Clampers)
- A diode clamper adds a DC level to an AC voltage. The capacitor charges to the peak of the
supply minus the diode drop. Once charged, the capacitor acts like a battery in series with the
input voltage. The AC voltage will “ride” along with the DC voltage. The polarity arrangement of
the diode determines whether the DC voltage is negative or positive.
- For negative clamper, the diode is turn around. A negative dc voltage is added to the input
voltage to produce the output.
Also known as
dc restorers.

A Clamper Application:
A clamping circuit is often used in TV receivers as a dc
restorer.
The incoming composite video signal is normally processed
through capacitively coupled amplifiers that eliminate the dc
component, thus losing black and white reference levels and
the blanking level. Before applied to the picture tube, these
reference level must be restored.
EMT111 Electronic Devices

2-5 Voltage Multiplier
(Introduction)
• Use clamping action to increase peak rectified voltages
without necessary to increase input transformer’s voltage
rating.
• Multiplication factors: two, three or four.
• Three types of voltage multipliers:
* Voltage doubler
- Half – wave voltage doubler
- Full – wave voltage doubler
* Voltage tripler
* Voltage Quadrupler
• Voltage multipliers are used in high-voltage, low current
applications, i.e TV receivers.

(Voltage Doubler)
Half-wave voltage Doubler:
Clamping action can be used to increase peak rectified voltage. Once C1 and C2
charges to the peak voltage they act like two batteries in series, effectively
doubling the voltage output. The current capacity for voltage multipliers is low.

arrangements, respectively.
• Voltage tripler and quadrupler gives output 3Vp and 4Vp, respectively.
• Tripler output is taken across C1 and C3, thus Vout = 3Vp

2-6 The Diode Data Sheet
(Introduction)
• The data sheet for diodes and other devices gives detailed
information about specific characteristics such as the various
maximum current and voltage ratings, temperature range,
and voltage versus current curves (V-I characteristic).
• It is sometimes a very valuable piece of information, even for
a technician. There are cases when you might have to select a
replacement diode when the type of diode needed may no
longer be available.
• These are the absolute max. values under which the diode can
be operated without damage to the device.

Our study of these devices and how they work leads more effective
troubleshooting. Efficient troubleshooting requires us to take logical steps in
sequence. Knowing how a device, circuit, or system works when operating
properly must be known before any attempts are made to troubleshoot. The
symptoms shown by a defective device often point directly to the point of
failure. There are many different methods for troubleshooting. We will
discuss a few.

(Troubleshooting Techniques)
Here are some helpful troubleshooting techniques:
 Power Check: Sometimes the obvious eludes the most
proficient troubleshooters. Check for fuses blown, power
cords plugged in, and correct battery placement.
 Sensory Check: What you see or smell may lead you
directly to the failure or to a symptom of a failure.
 Component Replacement: Educated guesswork in
replacing components is sometimes effective.
 Signal Tracing: Look at the point in the circuit or
system where you first lose the signal or incorrect signal.

2-7 Troubleshooting (cont.)
(Fault Analysis)
Example 4:
Effect of a fault filter capacitor:
 Open – o/p is full-wave rectified voltage
 Shorted – the o/p is 0V
 Leaky – increase the ripple voltage on the o/p
Example 5:
Effect of a Faulty Transformer:
 Open primary/secondary winding of a
transformer – 0V o/p

Summary
 The basic function of a power supply to give us a smooth ripple
free DC voltage from an AC voltage.
Half-wave rectifiers only utilize half of the cycle to produce a DC
voltage.
Transformer Coupling allows voltage manipulation through its
windings ratio
Full-Wave rectifiers efficiently make use of the whole cycle. This
makes it easier to filter.
The full-wave bridge rectifier allows use of the full secondary
winding output whereas the center-tapped full wave uses only
half.
Filtering and Regulating the output of a rectifier helps
keep the DC voltage smooth and accurate

Summary
Limiters are used to set the output peak(s) to a given
value.
Clampers are used to add a DC voltage to an AC voltage.
Voltage Multipliers allow a doubling, tripling, or
quadrupling of rectified DC voltage for low current
applications.
The Data Sheet gives us useful information and
characteristics of device for use in replacement or designing
circuits.
Troubleshooting requires use of common sense along
with proper troubleshooting techniques to effectively
determine the point of failure in a defective circuit or
system.
