The advantage of a half wave rectifier is only that its cheap, simple and easy to construct. It is cheap because of the low number of components involved. Simple because of the straight forwardness in circuit design. Apart from this, a half wave rectifier has more number of disadvantages th...

Block B4 is, for instance, a full-wave rectifier that rectifies the secondary current of the measuring transformer K. The output of block B4 may be connected via a resistor R4 to the ground and via a resistor R1 to a node CS connected to one input of a block B3. A capacitor C4 is...
In the real circuit, the rectifiers are driven by a quasi-sinusoidal current and the voltage reverses when this current becomes zero; therefore the voltage at the input of the rectifier block is an alternate square wave in phase with the rectifier current of amplitude Vout. The expression...
Ugly Transient Issues In PWM applications the drain current of the top MOSFET is a square wave at the input frequency and duty cycle. To prevent large voltage transients at the top drain, a low ESR electrolytic capacitor must be used and returned to the power ground. The capacitor is ...
The IC has an error amplifier, reference voltage, and synchronous rectifier drivers. As well as having these circuits, the driver enables controlled start-up and shutdown of the synchronous MOSFETs. Figure 5 shows a block diagram of the circuit. Vin Vcc Pre-Regulator UVLO Vref 90% Vcc Vin ...

The control transformer L31 provides a square wave AC control signal. During the positive half-period, with respect to the point sign of the secondary winding N12, a positive voltage is connected across the resistor R51 and rectifier D51 to the gate of an N-channel MOSFET T51 providing the ...
