A full-wave power supply circuit is a type of electrical power supply that uses a full-wave rectifier to convert an alternating current (AC) input voltage into a direct current (DC) output voltage. The rectifier circuit, typically composed of diodes, converts the AC voltage waveform into a pulsed DC waveform, which is then filtered and regulated to provide a smooth DC output voltage.
The full-wave power supply provides a more efficient conversion of AC to DC compared to a half-wave rectifier, as it uses both the positive and negative half cycles of the AC input voltage. This results in a higher average output voltage and less ripple on the DC output.
A dual power supply circuit is a type of power supply that provides two separate output voltage levels, typically a positive voltage and a negative voltage. These two outputs are commonly referred to as "dual" power supplies and are used to power circuits that require both positive and negative voltage supplies.
The circuit is typically designed to provide regulated output voltages and may include rectifiers, filters, and voltage regulators to ensure a clean and stable output. Dual power supply circuits are commonly used in a variety of applications, including amplifiers, digital circuits, and power-hungry devices that require both positive and negative voltage supplies.
