Comparison of Different Types of RectifiersComparison of Different Types of Rectifiers
Half-wave rectifier needs only a single diode but
ripple is twice those of the other types.

Full-wave rectifier requires a centre-tapped
transformer and its output voltage is about half
those of the other types.those of the other types.
Bridge-type rectifier is best overall even though
it requires four diodes because the diode bridge is
often available in a single package. However, if
a single diode in the bridge is defective, the
whole package has to be replaced

IC Voltage RegulatorsIC Voltage Regulators
There are basically two kinds of IC voltage
regulators:
Multipin type, e.g. LM723C
3-pin type, e.g. 78/79XX
Multipin regulators are less popular but they
provide the greatest flexibility and produce the
highest quality voltage regulationhighest quality voltage regulation
3-pin types make regulator circuit design simple
