D2 2) Half-wave Rectifier One of the most important applications of diodes is in rectifier circuits which are used to convert AC voltages to DC voltages. We first simulate a half-wave rectifier with one diode as shown in Figure 3(a). D1 Vin N. Vout D1N4002 D1N4002 I v3 VOFF = 0 VAMPL = 2 VAMPL = 2 FREQ = 1000 FREQ = 1000 AC = AC = C13 Vin VOFF = 0 R1 0 o Figure 3. Half-wave rectifiers. Simulation 1.2: Half-wave Rectifier a) Create a schematic as shown in Figure 3(a) and a simulation setting with Analysis Type: Time Domain (Transient) with Run Time Stop time=0.01(s) and maximum step time=0.00001 (s). The voltage source library is VSIN/SOURCE. b) Measure the voltage across the 1 KS resistor. c) Compare the simulated result with different values of resistors (12, 100 2,1K 2, 10K 12). Explain the results. Simulation 1.3: Half-wave Rectifier with a Capacitor a) Create the schematic shown in Figure 3 (b) by adding a capacitor in parallel with the 1K resistor in Figure 3(a). b) Plot Vout when the capacitor value is: C = 100nF, 1uF, 10uF. c) Measure the voltage ripples for different capacitor values. Compare the simulated values of voltage ripples with the ones obtained from the analytical equations discussed in the lectures.
