TROUBLESHOOTING OF DIODE

Testing a diode is quite simple, particularly if the multi-meter used has a diode check function.

With the diode check function a specific known voltage is applied from the meter across the diode.

With the diode check function a good diode will show approximately 0.7 V or 0.3 V when forward

biased.

When checking in reverse bias the full applied testing voltage will be sent on the display.

An ohm-meter can be used to check the forward and reverse resistance of a diode if the ohm-meter has

enough voltage to force the diode into conduction. Of course, in forward biased connection low

resistance will be seen and in reverse biased connecting high.

MEASURE AND PLOT THE FORWARD AND REVERSE CHARACTERISTICS OF A TYPICAL PN JUNCTION DIODE USING AN DIGITAL VOLT-METER

THEORY

Figure 1 Junction diode being impressed forward and reverse voltage

Semi-conductor diode allows the current to pass through in one direction but almost not in opposite

direction. Because while it has low forward resistance, high reverse resistance. All semi-conductor

diode generally has one-directional characteristic.

FORWARD CURRENT

The status connecting power to p side of pn junction diode with +, and to n side with – as Figure 1(a) is

called as being applied forward voltage or forward bias. At this time, current (forward current) flows

through the diode. The fact that the hole of p field flows to n field and the electron of n field to p field

vigorously makes big current I flowing from p to n.

REVERSE CURRENT

The status adding external voltage to n side +, to p side – as Figure 1(b) is called as being applied

reverse voltage or reverse bias. At this time, very weak ‘reverse saturation current’ flows from n to p

field through diode. This current reaches to maximum value very easily and increasing reverse voltage

doesn’t increase this current more than that value. So we call it reverse saturation current.

TO CONSTRUCT A HALF-WAVE RECTIFIER CIRCUIT AND TO CHECK ITS OUTPUT WAVEFORM ON OSCILLOSCOPE

THEORY

HALF-WAVE RECTIFIER

Rectifier is the diode used in converting AC to DC and this process is rectification. The basic way of

rectification is half-wave rectifier circuit shown in Figure 1. When the secondary voltage of

transformer is positive half period (V AB is +), diode D1 becomes forward bias. Because it represents

very low resistance value toward voltage source, so most of the secondary voltage appears both sides

of load RL . Silicon and germanium are representative forward biased diode. The step-down range of

silicon diode is from 0.5V to 1.0V and that of germanium diode is from 0.2V to 0.6V. Most of step-

down is ignored to make the interpretation of circuit simple. Especially when power supply is very

high, forward step-down of diode becomes very small toward output voltage.

Figure 1(b) explains the action of half-wave rectifier. Note that the fact that output becomes ‘0’ when

the voltage of transformer (V AB ) is negative (-). It is because diode becomes a backward bias (added

anode toward cathode). It is the same as open circuit ideally. Average DC voltage (V dc ) is the same as

0.318 times (0318 1. /= π ) of maximum value. Most of voltage meter displays average value. So it

indicates 0.318 times of maximum voltage toward half-wave rectifier. But effective value must be used

to calculate power. The effective voltage toward half-wave rectifier circuit is 0.5 times of maximum

value.

In case of half-wave;

This 2 way of displaying voltage may cause some confusion. Fortunately, effective value and average

value is mostly equal in general DC current. Therefore you may not worry about that. Average current

I 0 is the current taken by dividing average voltage of load by load resistance.

Step-down is so small in forward bias. But maximum input voltage appears as the step-down of both

sides of diode in backward bias. We call it as Peak Reverse Voltage (PRV). Every diode has maximum

allowable PRV rating which must not be exceeded and when the exceeding is happens, the factor

extinguished. The voltage of diode VAC in Figure 1(b) follows VAB in backward bias. Therefore diode

has very high resistance value. And note that step-down (V AC ) is not ‘0’ but a small positive value. It

is a forward step-down of diode and generally it is less than 1V.

TO CONSTRUCT A FULL-WAVE CENTER-TAP RECTIFIER CIRCUIT & TO CHECK AND MEASURE THE INPUT & OUTPUTS WAVE FORMS ON OSCILLOSCOPE

THEORY: More useful and effective way of converting AC to DC is using both positive and negative range of

AC input signal. There are 2 kinds of circuit to use to do this. Figure-1 shows a circuit among the two.

Because this method uses all of input wave type as DC output, it is known as full-wave rectification.

Center-tap rectifier in Figure-1 uses secondary winding having center-tap. When the polarity of

voltage is the same as figure, anode has a positive polarity toward cathode. So D1 becomes a forward

bias and conduction status. On the contrary, D2 becomes a backward bias and non-conduction status.

Therefore only D1 supplies the current to load.

Figure-1 Because the polarity of secondary voltage of transformer is inverted in the next half cycle of AC, so

everything is in opposition to above condition. Therefore, D1 becomes backward bias and D2 becomes

forward bias, then D2 supplies current to load. Because each diode is insulation status during only the

half cycle (by half cycle in turn), load current which is double the current of half-wave rectifying.

Figure -2 shows its output wave type. Note that double the increase of frequency appears in output

substantially. It is because cycle of output wave type T is the half of AC input signal. Remember that

frequency is the reciprocal of cycle. ( f T=1/ ).

Center tap circuit has been the most general full-wave rectifying circuit but, bridge circuit becomes

most general owing to the appearance of silicon diode having low price, high reliability and small size.

Figure- 3: I/O waveforms of full wave rectifier

The reason is in the fact that it enables to cut down the size of transformer needed in getting the degree

of output as well as center tap. Current flows in turn by dividing secondary side of transformer half and

half during each half cycle of main-sub in center tap circuit.

During this one cycle of the input sine wave, two positive DC pulses have been developed.

With this Condition, the output frequency has doubled. If the input frequency is 50 hertz, the positive

alternation will be present 50 times. After the full-wave rectification, there will be 100 positive pulses

at the output. If the DC output signal is measured with a multi-meter, the indication will be the

average value of the peak signal.

To determine the average value of a full-wave rectified signal, multiply the peak value by 0.636 Example:

VAVG = VP * 0.636

Input peak value = 10 V AC

10 V AC x 0.636 = 6.36 V DC

TO CONSTRUCT A FULL-WAVE BRIDGE RECTIFIER CIRCUIT AND TO CHECK AND MEASURE THE INPUT AND OUTPUTS WAVE FORMS ON OSCILLOSCOPE THEORY: A basic full-wave bridge rectifier is illustrated in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Basic Full-Wave Bridge Rectifier

A full wave bridge rectifier has one advantage over the conventional full-wave rectifier: the amplitude

of the output signal. The frequency of the positive pulses will be the same in either rectifier. When the

output signal is taken from a bridge rectifier, it is taken across the entire potential of the transformer;

thus, the output signal will be twice the amplitude of a conventional full-wave rectifier. For the first

half cycle of a bridge rectifier, refer to Figure 2.

Figure 2 Full Wave Bridge Rectifier (First Half-Wave Cycle Operation)

During the first half cycle of the input signal, a positive potential is felt at Point A and a negative

potential is felt at Point B. Under this condition, a positive potential is felt on the anode of D2 and on

the cathode of D1. D2 will be forward-biased, while D1 will be reverse-biased. Also, a negative

potential will be placed on the cathode of D3 and the anode of D4. D3 will be forward-biased, while D4

will be reverse biased. With D3 and D2 forward-biased, a path for current flow has been developed.

The current will flow from the lower side of the transformer to Point D. D3 is forward-biased, so

current will flow through D3 to Point E, from Point E to the bottom of the load resistor, and up to Point

F. R3 is forward biased, so current will flow through D2, to Point C, and to Point A. The difference of

potential across the secondary of the transformer causes the current to flow. Diodes D3 and D2 are

forward-biased, so very little resistance is offered to the current flow by these components. Also, the

resistance of the transformer is very small, so approximately all the applied potential will be developed

across the load resistor. If the potential from Point A to Point B of the transformer is 24 volts, the

output developed across the load resistor will be a positive pulse approximately 24 volts in amplitude.

Figure 3. Full-Wave Bridge Rectifier (Second Cycle Operation) When the next alternation of the input is felt (Figure 3), the potential across the transformer reverses

polarity. Now, a negative potential is felt at Point A and a positive potential is felt at Point B. With a

negative felt at Point C, D1 will have a negative on the cathode and D2 will have a negative on the

anode. A positive at Point D will be felt on the anode of D4 and the cathode of D3. D1 and D4 will be

forward-biased and will create a path for current flow. D3 and D2 will be reverse-biased, so no current

will flow. The path for current flow is from Point A to

Point C, through D1 to Point E, to the lower side of the load resistor, through the load resistor to Point

F, through D4 to Point D, and to the lower side of T1. Current flows because of the full potential being

present across the entire transformer; therefore, the current through the load resistor will develop the

complete voltage potential. The frequency of the output pulses will be twice that of the input pulses

because both cycles of the input AC voltage are being used to produce an output.

1. Low-voltage AC power supply

2. Four 1N4001 diode

3. Resistance 1KΩ

limited. It is sometimes used on extremely high-voltage, low-current power supplies that require very

little load current from the supply. This filter is also used in circuits where the power-supply ripple

frequency is not critical and can be relatively high.

The simple capacitor filter shown in figure 1 consists of a single-filter element. This capacitor (C) is

connected across the output of the rectifier bridge in parallel with the load. The RC charge time of the

filter capacitor (C) must be short and the RC discharge time must be long to eliminate ripple action

when using this filter. In other words, the capacitor must charge up fast with preferably no discharge at

all. Better filtering also results when the frequency is high; therefore, the full-wave rectifier output is

easier to filter than the half-wave rectifier because of its higher frequency.

Figure 1. - Full-wave rectifier with a capacitor filter

The value of the capacitor is fairly large (several microfarads).

When the pulsating voltage is first applied to the circuit, the capacitor charges rapidly and almost

reaches the peak value of the rectified voltage within the first few cycles. The capacitor attempts to

charge to the peak value of the rectified voltage anytime a diode is conducting, and tends to retain its

charge when the rectifier output falls to zero. (The capacitor cannot discharge immediately). The

capacitor slowly discharges through the load resistance (RL) during the time the rectifier is not

conducting.

The rate of discharge of the capacitor is determined by the value of capacitance and the value of the

load resistance. If the capacitance and load resistance values are large, the RC discharge time for the

circuit is relatively long.

When the circuit is energized, the diode conducts on the positive half cycle and current flows through

the circuit allowing C to charge. C will charge to approximately the peak value of the input voltage.

The charge is less than the peak value because of the voltage drop across diodes.

If fewer ripples are desired under heavy-load conditions, a larger capacitor may be used.

1. Low-voltage AC power supply

2. Four 1N4001 diode

4. Oscilloscope

The diodes need not be exact model 1N4001 units. Any of the "1N400X" series of rectifying diodes are suitable for the task, and they are quite easy to obtain.

A larger capacitor value is fine to use in this experiment, so long as its working voltage is high enough. To be safe, choose a capacitor with a working voltage rating at least twice the RMS AC voltage output of the low-voltage AC power supply
