☑ Diodes Used In Power Supplies

Rectifiers are most commonly made using solid state diodes but other type of components can be used when very high voltages or currents are involved. This video covers the basics of diodes bridge rectifiers and how to build simple unregulated ac to dc power supplies than can handle a few ma up to several amps.

What Are Diodes And What Are They Used For

Diode Power Supplies For Redundant Applications

Power Supplies Page 3 The Zener Diode

One of them is to convert ac line voltage into a dc voltage required by the circuit.

Diodes used in power supplies. Power diodes provide uncontrolled rectification of power and are used in applications such as battery charging and dc power supplies as well as ac rectifiers and inverters. General purpose 1a diodes. This type of rectification process is mostly seen in all power supplies of modern day electronic and electrical apparatus.

Due to their high current and voltage characteristics they can also be used as free wheeling diodes and snubber networks. Primary side regulation controllers. A power semiconductor diode is a crystalline semiconductor device also known as power diode used mainly for the purpose of rectification.

Synchronous rectification switcher and controller. Nearly all computers have some sort of power supplies. The reason were looking at power supplies is because they are a major use of diodes.

Now a power supply circuit must do several things. Rectifiers have many uses including as components of power supplies and as amplitude modulation detectors envelope detectors of radio signals. Secondary side controllers and switchers.
