Full Wave Rectifier

A rectifier is an electronic circuit which can convert an AC voltage into DC voltage. In half-wave rectifier, only a positive cycle is rectified. A circuit, which can rectify both positive and negative cycle is known as a full-wave rectifier.

Voltage and Current Division in an Electrical Circuit

Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) and Kirchhoff's current law (KVL) are two fundamental law to find voltage and current in an electrical circuit.

What is a Zener Diode and How to use it?

Zener diode is a special purpose diode that is made to operate in the breakdown region. Zener diode when used in reverse biased, it shows a sharp increase in reverse current when the voltage crosses the breakdown voltage

What is Pull-up and Pull-Down Resistor?

Pull-up and pull-down resistor are two different circuits used to set up external signal for hardware interrupt or preset signal.

Thermistor – A temperature measuring transducer

A thermistor is basically a resistor whose resistance changes with the change in the temperature. A thermister offers a non-linear curve between temperature and resistance graph.

Seven-segment Display - An Introduction

A Seven-segment or simply 7-Segment display is the basic electronic display and, it can show decimal digit or hexadecimal digit.

Half Wave Rectifier Explanation

A rectifier is an electronic circuit which converts AC voltage into DC voltage. Transformation of AC voltage into DC voltage is known as rectification.

Clipper Circuits using Diod

The arrangement of the diode network which has the ability to clip off some portion of the input signal without distorting remaining part is known as diode clippers.

Analog Electronics Posts

4 bit DAC using op-amp

For interfacing the digital circuit with the analog circuit, we must be able to convert the digital signal into an analog signal and analog signal into a digital signal.

R - 2R Ladder Digital to Analog Converter

R-2R ladder DAC is the most widely used circuit for converting the digital signal into the analog signal. For implementing R-2R DAC we require only two different values of resistors, one is R and other is 2R.

Inverting and Non-Inverting Operational Amplifier

An Operational Amplifier is a high gain direct-coupled amplifier and available in a single integrated circuit package. The operational amplifier is abbreviated to op-amp.

Clipper Circuits using Diod

The arrangement of the diode network which has the ability to clip off some portion of the input signal without distorting remaining part is known as diode clippers.

Clamper Circuits using Diode

It is an arrangement of diode and capacitor which is used to shift the positive and negative peak of a signal at some desired dc level by not changing the shape of the signa
