In rectifier circuits, the voltage drop that occurs with an ordinary semiconductor rectifier can be eliminated to give precision rectification. The below shown circuit is the precision full wave ...

Considering the power level of a high- to low-voltage DC/DC converter and the power losses of a resistor-capacitor-diode snubber [1], designers often use active clamp circuits for synchronous ...

Homework, for those following along, was to build a bridge rectifier and probe the signals from it. Let’s take a look. To the left is a schematic of a full-wave rectifier. Again, the important ...
