Explore Capacitor Charging in a Full Bridge Rectifier with LED Visualization
Use LEDs to visualize the operation of a full-bridge rectifier with capacitor filtering.
Video Highlights:
The half-cycle conduction is visualized as the corresponding pair of LEDs turn on.
The Digilent Analog Discovery has full differential outputs allowing direct oscilloscope measurements of the waveform without the need to consider ground connections.
Loss of a diode (failed open) reverts the supply to half-bridge mode.
Increased frequency lowers the ripple voltage.
