Calculator Provides Quick Rectifier Ripple Approximation
The standard practice for calculating the ripple voltage of a simple rectifier circuit with a reservoir capacitor (Fig. 1) is to linearize the problem. A linear approximation of the voltage across the reservoir capacitor (Fig. 2) assumes that the discharge time is equal to the period of the input sine wave, which is only approximately true for...
