The Rectifier Circuit A full-wave rectifier has less ripple for a given filter capacitor than a half-wave rectifier. A full-wave bridge rectifier is probably the best choice because it provides the most output voltage for a given input voltage and the PIV is less than for a center-tapped rectifier. Also, the full-wave bridge does not require a center-tapped transformer.

The full-wave bridge rectifier circuit is shown in Figure 1.

Compare Equations 2-8 and 2-10 for PIV.
