Choma, Jr.
Filtering–Cont’d • Diode Non-Conductive • Capacitor Voltage Does Not Change Instantaneously • When Capacitor Charges To Its Maximum Voltage And The Input Sinusoid Diminishes from Its Maximum Value, The Diode Open Circuits And The Capacitor Discharges Through The Load Resistance, Rl • Diode Begins To Conduct Again When The Unfiltered Output Rises To Meet The Decaying Capacitor Voltage At Time Tp. At This Point, The Output Voltage Is Vomin • See Plots On Next Slide J. Choma, Jr.

Choma, Jr.
Full Wave Rectifier • Center–Tapped Transformer • Operation • When Vs1 Is Positive, Vs2 = Vs3 > 0ID2 = 0 & Il = ID1 • When Vs1 Is Negative, Vs2 = Vs3 < 0ID1 = 0 & Il = ID2 • Result Is Full Wave Sinusoid For Unfiltered Case J. Choma, Jr.
Full Wave Performance • Half Wave Analysis Can Be Replicated With Minor Modifications • Unfiltered Average Is Twice As Large As Half Wave Case Because Current Is Now Continually Supplied To Load • Ripple Is Factor Of Two Smaller Because Capacitor Now Decays For Only ½ Period • For Same Ripple, Filter Capacitor Can Be ½ As Large In Full Wave Rectifier As In Half Wave Unit • Maximum Diode Current, Expressed In Terms Of Ripple, Is The Same As for Half Wave Case J.
