Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

A single diode rectifier (CLS01, LFJFQ(O) is a rectifier that uses a single diode to achieve the rectifying conversion from AC to DC. It has a wide range of applications in the power industry, electric locomotive and large electricity-driven equipment. The output voltage of a single diode rectifier is generally low and its output current is also low. It is mostly used to produce low-voltage, low-power signals and power supplies in the telecommunications industry, instrumentation and automatic control systems.

Working Principle

The single diode rectifier has a simple working principle. When the alternating current changes, it will create a potential difference across the semiconductor PN junction, and under the action of this potential difference, the current will be rectified through the diode. When the diode is reverse-biased, it will not pass current. When the diode is forward-biased, it will pass current. In a single-diode rectifier, the voltage drop across the diode varies with the current. Therefore, a single diode rectifier can be used to achieve rectification from alternating current to direct current. Since the voltage drop across the semiconductor is small, only a small portion of the energy is lost in the circuit, thus achieving high efficiency.

Application Field

Single diode rectifier is a common AC-DC rectifier, which is widely used in various application fields for its simple structure and low cost. It is generally used in the following areas:

• The single diode rectifier is used in small power battery chargers, electric toothbrushes and other power supplies;
• It is used as an electronic rectifier element in the electronic ballast, electronic speed regulators and small DC power supply;
• It is used as a control device in an AC motor drive;
• It is used to rectify AC-DC power supply in the low-voltage power supply system.

In addition to this, single-diode rectifier can also be used in high-speed motor drive and direct current power supply circuits, as well as AC sinusoidal filter circuits and the like. Considering its low cost and wide range of applications, the single-diode rectifier is widely used in many areas and has become an indispensable part in various occasions.
