Rectifier
A full-wave rectifier allows unidirectional (one-way)
current through the load during the entire 360oof the input
cycle.
The result of full-wave rectification is an output voltage
INTRODU with a frequency twice the input frequency and that
pulsates every half-cycle of the input.
CTION The number of positive alternations that make up the full-
wave rectified voltage is twice that of the half-wave
voltage for the same time interval.
The average value, which is the value measured on a dc voltmeter, for a full-wave
rectified sinusoidal voltage is twice that of the half-wave.

VAVG is approximately 63.7% of Vp for a full-wave rectified voltage.


CENTER-TAPPED
TRANSFORMER
A center-tapped rectifier is a type of full-wave
CENTER- rectifier that uses two diodes connected to the
secondary of a center-tapped transformer.
TAPPED
FULL- The input voltage is coupled through the
WAVE transformer to the center-tapped secondary.

RECTIFIE Half of the total secondary voltage appears


R between the center tap and each end of the
secondary winding.
CENTER-TAPPED FULL-
WAVE RECTIFIER
For a positive half-cycle of the input voltage, the polarities

This condition forward-biases diode D1 and reverse-biases
TAPPED diode D2.
FULL- The current path is through D1 and the load resistor RL

Output voltage of a center-tapped full-wave rectifier is always one-half of the total
secondary voltage less the diode drop.

secondary winding and across RL when a 100 V peak
sine wave is applied to the primary winding.

a. The transformer turns ratio n = 0.5. The total peak secondary voltage is

There is a 25 V peak across each half of the secondary with respect to ground. The output load
voltage has a peak value of 25 V, less the 0.7 V drop across the diode.
b. Each diode must have a minimum PIV rating of
The most familiar network for performing full wave rectification
with its four diodes is called full wave bridge rectifier.
The rectifier efficiency of a bridge rectifier is almost equal to the
center tapped full wave rectifier. The only advantage of bridge
rectifier over center tapped full wave rectifier is the reduction in
BRIDGE cost.

RECTIFIE In bridge rectifier, instead of using the center-tapped transformer,


four diodes are used.
R
During the period t =0 to T/2 the polarity of the input is as
shown in positive.
The resulting polarities across the ideal diodes show that D2
and D3 are conducting while D1 and D4 are in the “off” state.
BRIDGE
RECTIFIE
R
For the negative region of the input the conducting diodes are
D1 and D4
The important result is that the polarity across the load
resistor R is the same as establishing a second positive pulse
BRIDGE Over one full cycle the input and output voltages will appear

The required PIV of each diode (ideal)
can be determined from following
figure obtained at the peak of the
positive region of the input signal.
For the indicated loop, the maximum
voltage across R is Vm and the PIV
rating is defined by
Determine the peak output voltage for the bridge
rectifier shown. Assume practical model, what PIV
rating is required for the diodes. The transformer is
specified to have 12V rms secondary voltage for the
EXAMPL standard 120V across primary

The peak output voltage (considering the two diode drops) is
V17V

V17V-1.4V=15.6V

The PIV rating for each diode is
