4.5 Rectifier Circuits

Figure 4.20: Block diagram of a dc power supply
 The primary application of diode is the rectifier –
 Electrical device which converts alternating current
(AC) to direct current (DC)
 One important application of rectifier is dc power supply.

step #1: increase / decrease rms magnitude of
AC wave via power transformer
4
step #2: convert full-wave AC to half-wave DC
(still time-varying and periodic)
step #3: employ low-pass filter to reduce wave
amplitude by > 90%
step #4: employ voltage regulator to eliminate
ripple
step #5: supply dc load
.

4.5.1 The Half-Wave Rectifier
5
 Half-wave rectifier –
utilizes only alternate
half-cycles of the input
sinusoid
 Constant voltage
drop model is
employed.

4.5.1 The Half-Wave Rectifier
6
 Small inputs?
Regardless of the
model employed,
one should note that
the rectifier will not
operate properly
when input voltage
is small (< 1V)
 Those cases require
a precision rectifier
(diode with op
amps).

 An alternative implementation of the full-wave rectifier
is bridge rectifier
 Does not require center-tapped transformer
 Four diodes instead of two

4.5.4. The Rectifier with a Filter Capacitor
 Why is this example unrealistic?
 Because for any practical application,
the converter would supply a load
(which in turn provides a path for capacitor discharging)

4.6: Limiting and Clamping Circuits
18
 Q: What is a limiter or
clamping circuit?
 A: One which limits
voltage output.

single limiters
employ one diode
double limiters
employ two
diodes of
opposite polarity
linear range may
be controlled via
string of diodes
and dc sources
zener diodes may
be used to
implement soft

4.6: Soft vs Hard limiter
 soft vs. hard limiter
 Q: How are limiter
circuits applied?
 A: Signal processing,
used to prevent
breakdown of
transistors within
various devices.
 Why use soft?

4.6.2 The Clamped Capacitor or DC Restorer
21
 Q: What is a DC restorer?
 A: Circuit which provides the dc
component of an AC without DC
value.
 Q: Why is this ability important?
 A:
1) Average value of the output is
effective way to measure duty
cycle
2) Duty cycle is modulated to
carry digital data (PWM): use
DC restorer followed by RC low
pass filter

4.6.3 The Voltage Doubler
dc restorer
peak rectifier
 Q: What is a voltage
doubler?
 A: One which
multiplies the
amplitude of a wave or
signal by two.

4.7 Special Diodes
23
Schottky-Barrier Diode or
Schottky Diode
 metal and moderately doped
semiconductor junction
 current flows from metal to
semiconductor
 current is conducted by
majority carriers: can switch it
on and off faster than p-n
junction
 forward voltage drop is lower
than p-n junction
(0.3-0.5 V)

4.7 Special Diodes
Varactors
 reverse-biased p-n junction
 junction capacitance is a
function of reverse bias voltage
 how?
 voltage variable capacitor
 tuning of receivers, Phase
locked loops

4.7 Special Diodes
Photodiodes
Anode
 reverse-biased p-n junction
 expose to light: covalent bonds
break, electron-hole pairs are
created
 free electrons sweep to n side and
holes to p side
 reverse current is created
 photocurrent is proportational to
intensity of incident light
 convert light into electric signal
 applications: CD-ROM, fiber-optic
 what happens when you don't
reverse bias the photodiode and
expose it to light?

4.7 Special Diodes
LEDs
 convert forward current into light
 forward bias region: when
minority carriers diffuse into p and
n sides, they recombine with
majority carriers, e.g. electrons
with holes.
 recombination: emission of light
 special semiconductor material:
direct band-gap
 known spectra of light when
electrons leave orbit
 emitted light is proportional to
number of recombinations which
is proportional to the forward
current
