Half Wave and Full Wave Precision Rectifier Circuit using Op-Amp Half Wave and Full Wave Precision Rectifier Circuit using Op-Amp

A rectifier is a circuit that converts alternating current (AC) to Direct current (DC). An alternating current always changes its direction over time, but a direct current flows continuously in one direction. In a typical rectifier circuit, we use diodes to rectify AC to DC. But this rectification method can only be used if the input voltage to the circuit is greater than…

+12V and -12V Dual Power Supply Circuit +12V and -12V Dual Power Supply Circuit

The objective of this project is to convert 220V AC supply in to +12V and -12v DC supply, that is why it is named Dual Power Supply as we get positive and negative 12v power supply at the same time.

This can be achieved in simple three steps:

Firstly, 220V AC is converted into 12V AC by using simple step-down (220V/12V) transformer. Secondly, output of this transformer is given to…
Half Wave Rectifier Circuit on Breadboard Half Wave Rectifier Circuit With and Without Filter

The process of converting alternating current into direct current is rectification. Any offline power supply unit has the block of rectification which converts either the AC wall receptacle source onto high voltage DC or stepped down AC wall receptacle source into low voltage DC. The further process will be filtering, DC-DC conversion, etc., So, in this article we are going…
