Calculate the peak-to-peak ripple voltage Vpp of the full-wave bridge rectifier with capacitor filter circuit and generate the output waveform. Then, to determine the peak-to-peak ripple voltage Vpp ...

comprise a transformer, rectifier, and filter capacitor. Many single-voltage power suppliesconsist of a transformer, arectifier, and a filter capacitor, as shownin Figure 1. This circuit is ...

A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...

Not all UPS designs are the same. As a result of cost savings in the very competitive UPS market, some designs may not have the highest level of component reliability. Capacitors are an integral part ...

Among regulators, the simplest regulator circuit is for a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator whose topology is shown in Fig. 1. As a linear voltage regulator, its ...
