2: Diode Circuits

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Learning Objectives

After completing this chapter, you should be able to:

  • Solve basic AC rectifier circuits for resulting waveforms.
  • Detail the differences between half-wave, full-wave and full-wave bridge diode rectifier configurations.
  • Solve basic regulator circuits employing Zener diodes.
  • Outline a complete AC-to-DC power supply with regulation, describing the function of each component, including power transformer.
  • Solve AC clipper circuits for output waveforms.
  • Solve AC clamper circuits for output waveforms.
