2. Rectifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

   Bridge rectifier: a full-wave rectifier using four diodes. For single-phase AC, if the transformer is center-tapped, then two diodes back-to-back (cathode-to-cathode or anode-to-anode, depending on output polarity required) can form a full-wave rectifier.

3. Diode bridge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode_bridge

   A diode bridge is a bridge rectifier circuit of four diodes that is used in the process of converting alternating current (AC) from the input terminals to direct current (DC, i.e. fixed polarity) on the output terminals. Its function is to convert the negative voltage portions of the AC waveform to positive voltage, after which a low-pass ...

4. Precision rectifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_rectifier

   Precision rectifier. The precision rectifier is a configuration obtained with an operational amplifier in order to have a circuit behave like an ideal diode and rectifier. [1] The op-amp-based precision rectifier should not be confused with the power MOSFET-based active rectification ideal diode.

5. Ripple (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(electrical)

   The characteristics and components of ripple depend on its source: there is single-phase half- and full-wave rectification, and three-phase half- and full-wave rectification. Rectification can be controlled (uses Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs)) or uncontrolled (uses diodes). There is in addition, active rectification which uses transistors.

6. Active rectification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_rectification

   Active full-wave rectification with two MOSFETs and a center tap transformer. Replacing a diode with an actively controlled switching element such as a MOSFET is the heart of active rectification. MOSFETs have a constant very low resistance when conducting, known as on-resistance (R DS(on)). They can be made with an on-resistance as low as 10 ...

7. Mercury-arc valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-arc_valve

   Mercury rectifier on display in the Beromünster AM transmitter in Switzerland, before being decommissioned.Three-phase full-wave rectifier with six anodes. A mercury-arc valve or mercury-vapor rectifier or (UK) mercury-arc rectifier [1] [2] is a type of electrical rectifier used for converting high-voltage or high-current alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).

8. Valley-fill circuit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley-fill_circuit

   Valley-fill circuit. Simple valley-fill circuit. A valley-fill circuit is a type of passive power-factor correction (PFC) circuit. For purposes of illustration, a basic full-wave diode-bridge rectifier is shown in the first stage, which converts the AC input voltage to a DC voltage.

9. Envelope detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_detector

   Between the circuit's input and output is a diode that performs half-wave rectification, allowing substantial current flow only when the input voltage is around a diode drop higher than the output terminal. The output is connected to a capacitor of value and resistor of value in parallel to ground. The capacitor is charged as the input voltage ...
