Week 3 Assignment

1. Determine the peak output voltage for the bridge rectifier in Figure 1 shown.
Assuming the practical model, what PIV rating is required for the diodes? The
transformer is specified to have a 12 Vrms secondary voltage for the standard
120 V across the primary.

Ppk(out) = 17-1.4 = 15.6Vpk

PIV = 15.6+.07 = 16.3V

1. In the full-wave center-tapped rectifier circuit, the transformer has a turns ratio
of 1:2. The transformer primary winding is connected across an AC source of
230V (rms), 50 Hz. The load resistor is 50Ω. For this circuit, determine the DC
is

output voltage, peak-to-peak ripple in the output voltage, and output ripple
frequency. Show all work.
