5 Simple diode application: rectifier T=1/f T = period (second, 16.7ms) f = frequency (Hertz, 60Hz)

6 Simple diode application: the rectifier

7 Example The diode conducts when Vs exceeds 12V - The diode stops conducting when Vs falls below 12V - The current i D flows in the conduction angle 2-12V=24V*cos( ) then =60 O or conduction angle 2 = 120 O - Maximum current (peak current) I=(24-12)/100=120mA

8 Simple diode application: the diode logic gates Figure 4.5 Diode logic gates: (a) OR gate; (b) AND gate (in a positive-logic system).
