Fast Rectifier Circumvents Input-Level Effect- 12/22/94 EDN Design Ideas: All diode-based rectifier circuits suffer from a signal-level-dependent frequency response. This response occurs because the dynamic impedance of the diodes varies as the signal level changes. The result is a slower frequency response and distorted rectified outputs at low signal levels compared with high levels.

Generate Boost Rails In a Bridge-Rectifier- 11/16/12 EDN Design Ideas: Bridge ac inputs have the ability to sink and source current with reference to the bridge-rectifier outputs. Many single-voltage power supplies consist of a transformer, a rectifier, and a filter capacitor, as shown in Figure 1. This circuit is relatively inexpensive and easy to build but supplies only a single voltage. Circuits employing op amps, data converters, and other analog circuit blocks often require additional voltages to operate. These extra voltages can be either higher than the main supply voltage or negative. Design by Horst Koelzow, Calgary, Alberta

High current regulated power supply -
Scroll to find this circuit: The high current regulator below uses an additional winding or a separate transformer to supply power for the LM317 regulator so that the pass transistors can operate closer to saturation and improve efficiency. For good efficiency the voltage at the collectors of the two parallel 2N3055 pass transistors should be close to the output voltage. The LM317 requires a couple extra volts on the input side, plus the emitter/base drop of the 3055s, plus whatever is lost across the (0.1ohm) equalizing resistors (1volt at 10 amps) , so a separate transformer and rectifier/filter circuit is used that is a few volts higher than the output voltage __ Designed by Bill Bowden
