  2. Peak inverse voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_inverse_voltage

    For rectifier applications, peak inverse voltage (PIV) or peak reverse voltage (PRV) is the maximum value of reverse voltage which occurs at the peak of the input cycle when the diode is reverse-biased. [4] [5] The portion of the sinusoidal waveform which repeats or duplicates itself is known as the cycle. The part of the cycle above the ...

  3. Rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

    A full-wave rectifier converts the whole of the input waveform to one of constant polarity (positive or negative) at its output. Mathematically, this corresponds to the absolute value function. Full-wave rectification converts both polarities of the input waveform to pulsating DC (direct current), and yields a higher average output voltage.

  4. Ripple (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(electrical)

    The characteristics and components of ripple depend on its source: there is single-phase half- and full-wave rectification, and three-phase half- and full-wave rectification. Rectification can be controlled (uses Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs)) or uncontrolled (uses diodes). There is in addition, active rectification which uses transistors.

  5. Envelope detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_detector

    Between the circuit's input and output is a diode that performs half-wave rectification, allowing substantial current flow only when the input voltage is around a diode drop higher than the output terminal. The output is connected to a capacitor of value and resistor of value in parallel to ground. The capacitor is charged as the input voltage ...

  6. Breakdown voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakdown_voltage

    Rectifier diodes (semiconductor or tube/valve) may have several voltage ratings, such as the peak inverse voltage (PIV) across the diode, and the maximum RMS input voltage to the rectifier circuit (which will be much less). Many small-signal transistors need to have any breakdown currents limited to much lower values to avoid excessive heating.

  7. Talk:Peak inverse voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Peak_inverse_voltage

    This article is factually correct, open Sedra Smith or Millman Grabel, PIV is defined usually for Rectifiers and are used to specify the max negative voltage the rectifier will have to handle for a particular input circuit. Usually the rectifier is used with a breakdown voltage about 150% of PIV. --TvKimi 12:12, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
