2. Pulsed DC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_DC

   Pulsed DC (PDC) or pulsating direct current is a periodic current which changes in value but never changes direction. Some authors use the term pulsed DC to describe a signal consisting of one or more rectangular ("flat-topped"), rather than sinusoidal, pulses. [1] Pulsed DC is commonly produced from AC (alternating current) by a half-wave ...

3. Dimmer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmer

   This unit is wired in series with the load. Diodes (D2, D3, D4 and D5) form a bridge, which generates pulsed DC. R1 and C1 form a circuit with a time constant. As the voltage increases from zero (at the start of every halfwave) C1 charges up. When C1 is able to make Zener diode D6 conduct and inject current into the SCR, the SCR fires. When the ...

4. Chopper (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_(electronics)

   The average output voltage is directly proportional to the ON time of chopper. The ratio of ON time to total time is defined as duty cycle. It can be varied between 0 and 1 or between 0 and 100%. Pulse-width modulation (PWM), or pulse-duration modulation (PDM), is a technique used to encode a message into a pulsing signal.

5. Pulse-width modulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation

   Pulse-width modulation (PWM), also known as pulse-duration modulation (PDM) or pulse-length modulation (PLM), [1] is any method of representing a signal as a rectangular wave with a varying duty cycle (and for some methods also a varying period). PWM is useful for controlling the average power or amplitude delivered by an electrical signal.

6. Ripple (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

   Ripple (specifically ripple current or surge current) may also refer to the pulsed current consumption of non-linear devices like capacitor-input rectifiers. As well as these time-varying phenomena, there is a frequency domain ripple that arises in some classes of filter and other signal processing networks.

7. Power electronics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_electronics

   AC/DC converters are used every time an electronic device is connected to the mains (computer, television etc.). These may simply change AC to DC or can also change the voltage level as part of their operation. AC/AC converters are used to change either the voltage level or the frequency (international power adapters, light dimmer).
