Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A silicon power diode rated with a PIV of 50 V is connected in an AC circuit with an RMS voltage of 40 V. Determine if it is safe to use this diode without exceeding its limits.
💡 Hint: Calculate the peak voltage from the given RMS voltage to ensure it stays under the rated PIV.
Question 2
Design a rectifier circuit using a power diode. Specify the maximum DC output voltage if the input AC is 100 V RMS considering the forward voltage drops.
💡 Hint: Remember to account for the lost voltage across the diodes.
