Characteristics of Diodes As shown in the figure, a diode is a component that can allow current to flow only in the direction of ▶. This is a nonlinear relationship in which the forward current \( V_{F} \) rapidly increases when a voltage is applied across the diode above the forward voltage \( V_{F} \). … Read more
A half-wave rectifier with one diode Commercial power is a sinusoidal wave of 50/60 Hz, which is a symmetrical waveform of positive and negative voltages at every half of the frequency. Rectifying only a positive voltage with one diode is called a half-wave rectifier. At this time, the diode charges the capacitor with a positive … Read more
Use a linear regulator if power stability is required Linear regulator, called series regulator or shunt regulator, are mainly used when precise voltages are needed or when small power is needed, and when the unit price of the product has to be lowered. Linear regulator have very small electrical noise generation in a simple circuit … Read more
The electronic circuit operates on DC power All electronic devices require power supply through an AC 110V/220V voltage which is a commercial power system(or a battery) for the operation of the device. In addition, these electronic devices require stable power sources such as 3.3V, 5V, and 12V. Electronic devices supplied with power through commercial power … Read more
