Rectifier
The rectifier converts the ac input
voltage to a pulsating dc voltage
There are two types of rectifier.

Half-Wave Rectifier


When
a
diode
is
connected
to a source alternating voltage, it
will be of alternately forward-biased, and
then reverse-biased, during each cycle of
the AC sine-wave.
When a single diode is used in a
rectifier circuit, current will flow through
the circuit only during one-half of the
input voltage cycle.
For this reason, this rectifier
circuit is called a half-wave rectifier. The
output of a half-wave rectifier circuit is
pulsating DC.

Full-wave Rectifier

The output of a
full-wave rectifier
is driven by both
the positive and
negative cycles of
the sinusoidal
input, unlike the
half-wave rectifier
which uses only
one cycle.

Power Supplies
Consist of:
1. Transformer – steps ac voltage up or
down.
2. Rectifier Diodes – change ac to
“bumpy” dc.
3. Filter Network – includes capacitors
and inductors, smooths out the bumps.
4. Voltage Regulator – keeps the voltage
constant.
5. Protection – usually a crowbar circuit.

Important Concepts
• Half Wave Rectifier:
– Simplest.
– Hard to filter well.
• Full Wave Rectifier:
– Easier to filter.
– Requires transformer with center-tap.
– Transformer secondary must be twice
intended voltage.
