Ac To Dc Converter Circuit Using Diode. This circuit is suitable for dc high voltage generator than a step up transformer. Because the leds are only illuminated for each half cycle.
It works like a normal bridge dc power supply circuit. To learn more about bridge rectifier circuit follow the link. The full wave rectifier converts both halves of the ac sine wave to positive voltage direct current.
But save way is using diodes and capacitors as cascades circuit.
The ldo ic1 is also connected to regulate the output voltage. It works like a normal bridge dc power supply circuit. The diodes are connected to the two outer taps and the center tap is used as a common ground for the rectified dc voltage. The result is dc voltage that pulses at twice the frequency of the input ac voltage.
