    RECTIFIER CIRCUITS

    Chapter 2-Lecture 2

    • Half Wave Rectifier Circuits


    • Full Wave Rectifier Circuits
    Rectifier Circuits

     A DC power supply is required to bias all electronic circuits.


     A diode rectifier forms the first stage of a dc power supply.

     Rectification is the process of converting an alternating (ac)


    voltage into one that is limited to one polarity.
     Rectification is classified as half-wave or full-wave rectifier.

    HALF WAVE RECTIFIER

    Analysis:
    • During the +ve half cycle of the source
    • During the -ve half cycle of the source
    During the positive half cycle of the supply:

    • vs< V, diode off, open circuit, no


    current flow, Vo = 0V

    •vs > V, diode conducts, current flows,


    v = vs – V
    o

    V

    Equation of VO and current when diode is conducting


    During the negative half cycle of the supply:

    • Diode is Reversed biased

    • No current flows
    •Output voltage is zero

    V
    During the positive half cycle of the supply:

    • vs < V, diode off, open circuit, no current flow, vo = 0V


    • vs > V, diode conducts,current flows and vo = vs – V
    During the negative half cycle of the supply:
    • no current flow, vo = 0V
    Consider a sine wave where vs = v m sin t and v
    m is the peak value

    v m

    V

    vs > V
    Example
    • Consider the rectifier circuit in the figure below. Let R = 1 k, and the diode
    has the properties of V = 0.6 V . Assume v = 10 sin t (V)
    s

    i. Determine the peak value of the diode current


    ii. Sketch vO versus time, t. Label the peak value of vO.

    v s
    Solution
    During the positive half cycle:
    vs < V : Vo=0

    vs > V :
    0.6 + 𝐼𝐷 𝑅 − 𝑣𝑠 = 0

    𝑣𝑠 − 0.6
    𝐼𝐷 =
    1
    10 − 0.6
    𝐼𝐷𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑘 = = 9.4𝑚𝐴
    1

    During the negative half cycle:

    Vo=0
    The peak inverse voltage (PIV) of the diode
    is the peak value of the voltage that a diode
    can withstand when it is reversed biased
    EXAMPLE– Half Wave Rectifier
    Determine the currents and voltages of the half-wave rectifier circuit. Consider the half-
    wave rectifier circuit shown in Figure.
    Assume and . Also assume that
    Determine the peak diode current, maximum reverse-bias diode voltage(PIV)
