Homework, for those following along, was to build a bridge rectifier and probe the signals from it. Let’s take a look. To the left is a schematic of a full-wave rectifier. Again, the important ...

Common rectifier configurations include bridge rectifiers, center-tap rectifiers, and single diodes. Bridge rectifiers are full wave rectifiers consisting of four diodes assembled in a bridge ...

If the AC is center-tapped, then the diodes are arranged anode-to-anode or cathode-to-cathode to form a full-wave rectifier. If the AC is not center-tapped, then the four diodes are arranged in a ...
