In our previous tutorials about diode, we have discussed how a diode operates theoretically. A diode can be used as rectifier in which it could be a half-wave or a full-wave ...

If you get a transformer that has a dual primary side and a dual secondary side, there may be some questions about how to connect the leads so that the transformer is setup either ...

Welcome to this tutorial about full-wave rectifiers. We've done a tutorial on half-wave rectifiers and now this is an opportunity to see why full-wave rectifiers are even better. ...

In our discussion with half-wave rectifiers, we’ve learned that half-wave rectifiers only rectify the half-cycle of the AC input. Though they can be used in some applications, ...

In our previous topics relating to diodes, we’ve discussed the operation of a Zener diode as well as its important specifications. We’ve learned that a Zener diode is a ...

In our previous topics about diodes, we’ve learned about the pn junction, and how a diode works in forward bias and reverse bias. We have also discussed LEDs, which is a ...

In our previous discussion about rectifiers, we discussed full-wave rectifiers and how they are different from half-wave rectifiers. We also discussed one type of full-wave ...

So we have gone over Zener diodes, how they work and some of the concepts - how they're used in voltage regulation, we've gone over it conceptually, gone over it mathematically, ...

So we've done a couple of different projects using this transformer in the past. And we've actually gotten a common question of why is it sometimes the output of the transformer ...

Wave-shaping circuits are circuits that usually clip off portions of signal voltages above or below certain levels, or add or restore a DC level to an electrical signal, or ...
