Circuit arrangement of four diodes Diode bridge Diode bridge in various packages Type Semiconductor Inventor Karol Pollak in 1895 Electronic symbol 2 alternating-current (AC) inputs converted into 2 direct-current (DC) outputs A hand-made diode bridge. The silver band on the diodes ...

3. Bridge circuit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_circuit

   A bridge circuit is a topology of electrical circuitry in which two circuit branches (usually in parallel with each other) are "bridged" by a third branch connected between the first two branches at some intermediate point along them. The bridge was originally developed for laboratory measurement purposes and one of the intermediate bridging ...

   Any modulating technique used for the full-bridge configuration should have either the top or the bottom switch of each leg on at any given time. Due to the extra leg, the maximum amplitude of the output waveform is Vi, and is twice as large as the maximum achievable output amplitude for the half-bridge configuration. [17]

5. AC-to-AC converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC-to-AC_converter

   Such phase-controlled thyristor-based rectifiers however have higher AC line distortion and lower power factor at low load than diode-based rectifiers. An AC-AC converter with approximately sinusoidal input currents and bidirectional power flow can be realized by coupling a pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier and a PWM inverter to the DC ...

6. Active rectification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_rectification

   Active full-wave rectification with two MOSFETs and a center tap transformer. Replacing a diode with an actively controlled switching element such as a MOSFET is the heart of active rectification. MOSFETs have a constant very low resistance when conducting, known as on-resistance (R DS(on)). They can be made with an on-resistance as low as 10 ...

7. Valley-fill circuit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley-fill_circuit

   Simple valley-fill circuit. A valley-fill circuit is a type of passive power-factor correction (PFC) circuit. For purposes of illustration, a basic full-wave diode-bridge rectifier is shown in the first stage, which converts the AC input voltage to a DC voltage.
