An electronic circuit that converts AC to DC and multiplies the source voltage. Using capacitor/diode pairs, the capacitor stores the source voltage like a charge pump, and the diode rectifies it. The ...

A voltage multiplier is applied as a high source impedance, 36V, 300mA, 12W LED driver. The high source impedance is ideal for driving power LEDs because it accommodates variations in LED junction ...

This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...
