Schematic

Open project folder on GitHub

Demonstrates a bridge rectifier using four diodes.

Circuit Summary

A diode bridge converts AC to pulsating DC without a center tap.

Expected Behavior

  • Output is full-wave rectified with two diode drops per conduction path.

How To Run

  1. Open Rectifier-4D.kicad_sch in KiCad.
  2. Click Simulate and run the configured analyses.
  3. Add probes to the key nodes to view the expected behavior.

Notes

  • Check peak output vs. input peak minus diode drops.
