Re: Diode Strings



Original poster: "Ed Phillips" <evp-at-pacbell-dot-net> 

There's some useful stuff on diode rectifier circuits in this page from
SGS:

Not enough on PIV for various circuits, but does give a chart to
estimate "Peak to DC ratio" and also typical circuits.  I did a quick
Google search and was amazed that I didn't find scads of articles on
design of every conceivable diode rectifier circuit.  Almost every
diote/transistor data book "in the good old days" had a section on
designing various rectifier circuits, including figuring PIV for each
configuration.
