Series Diode Configuration with DC Inputs
VD = VT
VR = E -VT
VR = ID R = IR R
Parallel Diode Configuration with DC Inputs

Which Diode will turn on?

Series- Parallel Configuration

Find the Value of currents……

Rectifier
➢ An electronic device which converts the ac input voltage to a pulsating dc voltage

Rectifier

Half – wave rectifier Full – wave rectifier

Half – Wave Rectifier
➢ The process of removing one-half the input signal to establish a dc level is called
half-wave rectification

➢ During the positive half cycles diode turns into “on” state because of forward bias
and conduct currents

➢ During the negative half cycles diode turns into “off” state because of reverse bias
so no current flows in that cycles
Half – Wave Rectifier
❖ Positive half cycle
Half – Wave Rectifier
❖ Negative half cycle
Half – Wave Rectifier
❖ Input Output Waveform:

V0 = Vm

Vavg = Vdc = 0.318 Vm

Half – Wave Rectifier
❖ Effect of Barrier Potential:

Vavg = Vdc = 0.318 (Vm –VT)

Half – Wave Rectifier
❖ Peak Inverse Voltage

Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law

Vm= V(PIV) + Vo
or, Vm - V0 =V(PIV)
Math Problem
a) Sketch the output Vo and determine the dc
level of the output for the network in Fig.

b) Repeat part (a) if the ideal diode is replaced by

a silicon diode.

c) Repeat parts (a) and (b) if Vm is increased to

200 V.
