For a half-wave rectifier having diode voltage VD and supply input of VI, the diode conducts for π – 2Θ, where Θ is given by
The diode rectifier works well enough if the supply voltage is much than greater than 0.7V. For smaller voltage (of few hundreds of millivolt) input which of the following can be used?
A simple diode rectifier has ‘ripples’ in the output wave which makes it unsuitable as a DC source. To overcome this one can use
Consider a peak rectifier fed by a 60-Hz sinusoid having a peak value Vp = 100 V. Let the load resistance R = 10 kΩ. Calculate the fraction of the cycle during which the diode is conducting
(Q.9-Q.10) The op amp in the precision rectifier circuit is ideal with output saturation levels of ±12 V. Assume that when conducting the diode exhibits a constant voltage drop of 0.7 V.
Find V– when VI is -1V.
