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… |

Driverless LED Lights The Great American Businessman and Inventor of light bulb – Thomas Alva Edison once said that “We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles”, which certainly has become the case today. From small house to paved roads to big industries, we can notice AC lights illuminating our environment after the sun goes down. Earlier lighting systems employed… |

An Overview of Dual Converters In the previous tutorial, we saw how a Dual Power Supply Circuit is designed. Now, we learn about Dual Converters, which can convert AC to DC and DC to AC at the same time. As the name suggests, Dual Converter has two converters, one converter works as a rectifier (Converts AC to DC) and the other converter works as an inverter (converts DC into AC). Both converters are… |

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… |
