    The document discusses different types of diode rectifier circuits. It covers zener diodes, which operate in the breakdown region, and their use in shunt regulators. Half-wave and full-wave rectifier circuits are described along with considerations for diode selection. The bridge rectifier circuit is also introduced. Peak rectifier circuits are explained as providing a DC output voltage equal to the peak of the input sine wave using an ideal diode assumption. Various circuit diagrams, transfer characteristics, and equations are presented.

     The zener voltage VZ is
    specified at a specified
    test current ITZ
     Deviation from ITZ causes
    small variation in VZ

    and IZK = 0.2 mA. The supply voltage V + is
    nominally 10 V but can vary by  1V.

    vO  0 for vS  VD ( or VD ,ON )
    vO  vS  VD for vS  VD ,ON

    Half Wave Rectifier (Cont’d)

    Two important considerat ions while selecting diodes for HWR


    * The current handling capability of diodes
    * The Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV)
    In the above case when diode is cut - off vO  0
    and vD  VS  PIV (here VS is the Peak value of input)

    Full Wave Rectifier (FWR)

    center-tapped secondary

    a) circuit;
    b) transfer characteristic
    assuming a constant-voltage-
    drop model for the diodes;
    c) input and output waveforms. 16
    Full Wave Rectifier (Cont’d)

    In this case the PIV is different :


    * When diode D2 is cut - off, voltage at its cathode is vO
    and at its anode is " - vS " thus voltage across D2 is
    vD 2  (vS  vO )
    Since vS , MAX  VS and vO , MAX  VS  VD
    Therefore PIV  2VS  VD

    17
    Exercise 4.20
    For the full-wave rectifier of circuit in Fig 4.22(a), show the following: (a) The output is zero for
    an angle of 2 sin-1(VD/VS) centered around the zero crossing points of the sine-wave input. (b) The

    Note that vO  vS  2VD
    and remains positive during
    both positive & negative cycles
    of vS

    19
    The Bridge Rectifier(Cont’d)

    When D3 is cut-off the voltage across it is:


    vD3  vO  VD2
    where VD2 forward voltage drop across D 2  VD
    PIV  VS  2VD  VD or PIV  VS  VD
