Fig. 1: The silicon-controlled rectifier One major aspect of development in broadcast transmitter technology and power electronics is in the area of power control. On the traditional transformer, we ...

Calculate the peak-to-peak ripple voltage Vpp of the full-wave bridge rectifier with capacitor filter circuit and generate the output waveform. Then, to determine the peak-to-peak ripple voltage Vpp ...

This exercise demonstrates how the blend of analysis + simulation/testing can lead to a better understanding of circuit performance, compared to using analysis or simulation/testing alone. Although ...

The more common approach to manipulate the incoming AC wave so that both halves are used to cause output current to flow in the same direction is the use of full-wave rectifiers. A full-wave rectifier ...

A rectifier input capacitor's size is often considered nebulous. Therefore, common practice is to pick a large size, and if the ripple voltage is low enough, all is okay (see the figure, a). If not, ...
