Rectifier Signals Power Supply Flyback Diodes

Rectifiers are diodes that are used for higher currents and voltages than normal signal diodes, such as in power supplies where they convert alternating current to direct current through half-wave, full-wave, or bridge rectification circuits. Rectifiers are also used as flyback diodes to protect transistors and other components from voltage spikes.

Rectifiers[edit]

Main article: Rectifier


Although all diodes rectify, the term 'rectifier' is normally reserved for higher currents and voltages
than would normally be found in the rectification of lower power signals; examples include:

Power supply rectifiers (half-wave, full-wave, bridge)

Flyback diodes
