An electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) is the rectifier. The simple process of rectification produces a type of DC characterized by pulsating voltages and ...

This application note covers a wide range of applications, such as half-wave rectifiers, full-wave rectifiers, peak detectors and clamps. Many of the circuits are simple in terms of component count.

The current-doubler rectifier is a popular alternative for the output stage of a buck-derived power converter, which would otherwise use a conventional center-tapped transformer with secondary-side, ...

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 ...
