A classic analog application is the full-wave precision rectifier (absolute value) function. Many variations exist on this theme, each with its own supposed (often rather minor and sometimes downright ...

Idea for Design presents an algorithm for handheld calculators that gives a better approximation of of ripple voltages from a simple rectifier and cap. The standard practice for calculating the ripple ...

The following is a guest blog from Analog Devices. The authors are Chau Tran and Fotjana Bida. Their biographies are at the end of this article. A full-wave bridge rectifier converts an AC signal to a ...

The current-doubler rectifier is a popular alternative for the output stage of a buck-derived power converter, which would otherwise use a conventional center-tapped transformer with secondary-side, ...
