2.12 The full-wave rectifier circuit shown in Figure P2.12 has an input signal whose frequency is 60 Hz. The rms value of vS = 8.5 V. Assume each diode cut-in voltage is Vγ = 0.7 V. (a) What is the maximum value of VO ? (b) If R = 10 Ω, determine the value of C such that the ripple voltage is no larger than 0.25 V. (c) What must be the PIV rating of each diode? Figure P2.12
