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 ...

The losses in a bridge rectifier can easily become significant when low voltages are being rectified. The voltage drop across the bridge is a good 1.5 V, which is a hefty 25% with an input voltage of ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

The basic theory column we started in the Digital Innovations Center’s newsletter is starting to get a little meatier as we progress toward combining those basics. This month’s TranspowerNZ video is ...
