A 3V, 5-A dc full wave diode bridge rectifier is to be designed to have a ripple voltage of no more than 10mV. Assume a diode turn-on voltage of 1V, and ac frequency of 60 Hz. (a) Draw your circuit schematic, including ground, and indicate output voltage. Label diodes as D1, D2, D3 and D4.
(b) Find the capacitor value, diode peak current, surge current, and peak inverse voltage rating requirement.
(c) Sketch waveforms of the input voltage (transformer output voltage) and the output voltage (voltage across load resistor R) for a complete period after steady state is reached. They need to be on the same plot. Indicate peak and valley values on your input and output waveforms. Indicate your conduction time interval. Indicate the point when the diode D4 sees maximum reverse voltage. Find the reverse voltage value.
(d) Modify your schematic so that you get a negative output voltage (-5V). The technique can be found by reading our textbook.
