We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

Hipot test sets that use a full-bridge rectifier do not introduce a spike into the output of the set. This type of circuitry generates a smooth DC output that won’t overstress bottles.

A SPICE simulation of a full-wave bridge rectifier circuit determined that the bulk capacitance charge current was a sawtooth waveform.

Because the bridge input and outputdo not share a common reference, standardnegative peak detectors and voltagemultiplier stages cannot be used. Thebridge ac inputs, however, do have theability to ...

These features make the AOZ7203AV an optimal solution for efficient replacement of lossy diodes in the bridge rectifier circuit of an AC-DC power supply.
