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 ...

Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we cannot create an ideal ...

Central Semiconductor recently released the CMKBR-6F, a bridge rectifier consisting of a monolithic, fast switching chip with four 60-V, 140-mA high-speed, low-leakage switching diodes, configured as ...

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 ...

Replacing the silicon rectifier diodes in a full-wave bridge with N-type MOSFETs eliminates the V f drop in each conducting pair. The effects of the gain in efficiency are not trivial. To accomplish ...

Teardowns of cheap electronic devices can produce results that are interesting, horrifying, or both, especially when mains power is involved. [bigclivedotcom] gave a minimalist LED lamp his reverse ...
