    FINAL ACTIVITY – Simulink simulation of half-wave and full-wave rectifiers. (Diode


    Applications)

    November 2022
    1. What is a rectifier?
    - A rectifier is one or more diodes that are used for the conversion of alternating current
    into direct current.

    2. Cite application of diodes.


    - Diodes can be used in a variety of applications, such as radar circuits, gain control
    circuits, parametric amplifiers, television systems, computer systems, power supply
    systems, and communication systems as limiters, clippers, and gates as well as logic
    gates and clampers. The numerous applications of diodes are briefly described in the
    paragraph that follows.

    3. Looking at the datasheet, find the Maximum forward current and reverse breakdown
    voltage of 1N4001 and 1N4003 Diode. Make snapshot of the datasheet parameter to
    prove.

    4.
    5. Answer the 2 considering the Diode drop (0.7V).

    6. What is the PIV of a diode in a rectifier circuit?


    - The highest voltage that a diode or other device can sustain in the reverse-biased
    direction before breaking down is referred to as the peak inverse voltage (PIV) or peak
    reverse voltage (PRV). The PIV of the diode in the half-wave rectifier is equal to the
    maximum value of the supply voltage.

    7. What is the importance of peak inverse voltage?


    - The voltage that can be delivered to a device in the opposite direction of the usual
    current flow is known as peak inverse voltage. Normally significant in a transistor or
    diode. In essence, it refers to the maximum reverse voltage that a gadget can withstand
    before malfunctioning. Once it starts, it frequently spirals out of control until the gadget
    is open or shorted.

    8. Why are diodes not operated in the breakdown region in rectifiers?


    - A diode in a breakdown region is at risk of being harmed or burned because the amount
    of current flowing through it grows uncontrollably. That explains why rectifiers do not
    operate diodes in the failure zone.

    9. Why are half-wave rectifiers generally not used in DC power supply?


    - Due to their significant drawbacks, half-wave rectifiers are most frequently utilized in
    low-power applications. The output is pulsed DC, resulting in significant ripple, the
    output amplitude is smaller than the input amplitude, and there is no output during the
    negative half cycle, wasting half of the power.

    10. Draw the circuit of a full-wave rectifier.

    11. What are the circuits used to create a full-wave rectifier?


    - A step-down transformer, two connected, center-tapped diodes, and a full wave
    rectifier make up the circuit. The output voltage is measured across the load resistor
    that is attached.

    12. What is the importance of a series current limiting resistor?


    - A current limiting resistor controls and lowers the circuit's current. The resistor value
    to be added to a light-emitting diode (LED) to limit the current flowing through it may
    be calculated using this equation. The estimate also accounts for the power
    consumption of the LED. An electrolyte's limiting current is a crucial transport
    characteristic because it sets a limit on how quickly a cell may be charged or
    discharged.

    13. Simulate a half-wave rectifier and a full-wave rectifier using Simulink. You can use
    references such as materials found on the internet. (cite everything)
    Half-wave Rectifier
    Full-wave Rectifier
    CONCLUSION/TAKEAWAYS:

    By removing the negative half cycle from an AC input and letting just the positive half cycle to
    pass, a half wave rectifier creates a DC flow. We must first learn the theory in order to properly
    understand how a half wave rectifier functions. A PN junction diode only conducts electricity in
    one way, as we should recall from the theory part. In other words, a PN junction diode only
    conducts current when it is forward biased. The same process is used by a half wave rectifier to
    convert AC into DC. Alternating current will be used as our input. The input voltage is scaled
    down using a transformer. The reduced voltage is applied to the load resistance RL and diode. The
    input wave's positive and negative halves will cause the diode "D" to be forward biased and reverse
    biased, respectively. The load resistor RL receives the output and processes it. The output shown
    in the diagram is the result of the diode only passing current for one-half of the input wave's cycle.
    The output is positive and significant during the positive half cycles of the input wave. The output
    is zero or very little during the input wave's negative half cycles. We may begin to comprehend
    the full-wave rectifier if we first comprehend the half-wave rectifier. Using both half cycles of
    alternating current (AC) as input, a full wave rectifier transforms the AC to direct current (DC). In
    this circuit, there are two diodes—one for each half of the wave. A common center tapped
    connection divides the secondary winding of a multiple winding transformer equally into two
    halves. The arrangement causes each diode to conduct in turn, generating an output during both
    half-cycles, when the anode terminal of each diode is positive with respect to the transformer center
    point C. This rectifier provides more versatility than a half-wave rectifier. In this circuit, a single
    load resistance (RL) is connected to two power diodes, each of which alternately supplies current
    to the load resistor. When point A of the transformer is positive in relation to point A, diode D1
    conducts forward as shown by the arrows. When point B is positive in the negative half of the
    cycle relative to point C and the current flowing through resistor R is uniform for both halves of
    the wave, the diode D2 conducts in the forward direction.

    RECOMMENDATIONS:
    For those who will be tackling this activity, I only recommend that you study and acknowledge
    what half-wave and full-wave rectifiers. There are a lot of materials in the internet that I myself
    used that will prove to be essential to those who will tackle this activity in the future. Don’t
    forget to familiarize yourself with Simulink as doing the task without prior knowledge will
    probably lead to a few complications.
