This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

In the circuit shown above, Vs is a 10-V square wave period 4ms, R=100Ω, and C=20µF. Sketch Vc for the first two cycles of Vs if the capacitor is initially uncharged and the diode is ideal. Source: ...

A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...

[Todd Harrison] needed a way to run a 12 volt PC fan from mains voltage. Well, we think he really just needed something to keep him occupied on a Sunday, but that’s beside the point. He shows us how ...

LTSpice is one of the most famous Circuit Simulation Software among Electrical and Electronic Students. Developed by Linear Technology, it has an array of different devices, so, you won’t be missing ...

Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) and low dropout (LDO) regulators are found in electronic systems. Critical SMPS requirements include a stable output voltage with load current, good temperature ...
