 The 555 timer IC is a widely used integrated circuit that is versatile and can be used
for various applications. One of the applications of the 555 timer is as a

monostable multivibrator or a monostable latch.
 A monostable latch is a circuit that has two stable states but can be triggered to
switch to one of the states for a fixed period of time before returning to its original
state. This fixed period of time is determined by an external timing component
such as a resistor and a capacitor.
 In this circuit, the timing component consists of a resistor R and a capacitor C

connected in series between pins 2 and 6 of the 555 timer IC. The capacitor C
charges through the resistor R until it reaches 2/3 of the supply voltage (Vcc), at
which point the output of the 555 timer switches from low to high. The output
remains high for a fixed period of time determined by the values of R and C.
 The trigger input at pin 2 is used to trigger the latch and initiate the timing cycle.
The trigger input must be less than 1/3 of the supply voltage (Vcc) to trigger the
latch. The reset input at pin 4 is used to reset the latch to its original state,
regardless of the state of the output. The discharge input at pin 7 is used to
discharge the timing capacitor C when the output is low.
 The characteristics of a monostable latch using a 555 timer include:

 Fixed output duration: The duration of the output pulse is fixed and determined
by the values of the timing components R and C.
 Trigger level: The trigger input at pin 2 is active low, which means that the input
pulse must be less than 1/3 of the supply voltage (Vcc) to trigger the latch.
 Output state: The output is normally low and switches to high for a fixed duration
when triggered.
 Reset: The reset input at pin 4 is used to reset the latch to its original state,
regardless of the state of the output.
 Wide range of operating voltage: The 555 timer can operate at a wide range of
supply voltages, typically between 4.5V and 18V.
 Low power consumption: The 555 timer consumes low power, typically around
5mA, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.
 Overall, the monostable latch using a 555 timer is a simple and versatile circuit
that can be used for various timing applications, including pulse generators, time
delay circuits, and debounce circuits.
There are two main types of full wave rectifier circuits: the center-
tapped full wave rectifier and the bridge rectifier. Here, I'll explain the
bridge rectifier circuit since it is more commonly used.
The bridge rectifier circuit consists of four diodes arranged in a bridge

configuration. The AC input voltage is applied across two opposite
corners of the bridge, and the output voltage is taken across the other
two corners. The diodes are arranged in such a way that they only allow
current to flow in one direction, so when the AC voltage is positive,
current flows through one pair of diodes, and when the AC voltage is
negative, current flows through the other pair of diodes. This effectively
rectifies the entire AC waveform.
The output voltage of the bridge rectifier is not a pure DC voltage, but a
pulsating DC voltage. This is because the voltage output still has ripples
and fluctuations caused by the AC input voltage. To smooth out these
ripples, a filter capacitor is usually connected to the output of the
rectifier. The capacitor charges up during the peaks of the AC voltage
and discharges during the troughs, effectively smoothing out the output
voltage.
Overall, the bridge rectifier circuit is a simple and effective way to

convert AC voltage to DC voltage.
Characteristics of Full Wave Rectifier
 The characteristics of a full-wave rectifier are discussed below.
 Ripple Factor
 Form Factor
 DC Output Current
 Peak Inverse Voltage
 Root Mean Square Value of Load Current IRMS
 Rectifier Efficiency
 Ripple Factor
 The ripple factor can be defined as the ratio of ripple voltage and the
pure DC voltage. The main function of this is to measure the existing
ripples within the o/p DC signal, so based on the ripple factor, the DC
signal can be indicated. When the ripple factor is high then it indicates a
high pulsating DC signal. Similarly, when the ripple factor is low then it
indicates a low pulsating DC signal.
Γ = √(VrmsVDC)2−1
Where, γ = 0.48.
Form Factor
The form factor of the full-wave rectifier can be defined as the ratio of RMS
value of current and DC output current.
Form Factor = RMS Value of Current /DC Output Current.
For a full-wave rectifier, the form factor is 1.11

DC Output Current
The flow of current in both the diodes like D1 & D2 at the o/p load resistor
like RL is in the same direction. So, the o/p current is the amount of the
current in both the diodes
 The current generated through the D1 diode is Imax/π.
 The current generated through the D2 diode is Imax/π.
So, the o/p current (IDC) = 2Imax/π.
Where,
‘Imax’ is the max DC load current
Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV)

Peak inverse voltage or PIV is also known as peak reverse voltage. It can be
defined as when a diode can withstand maximum voltage within the
reverse bias state. If the applied voltage is higher as compared with the
PIV, then the diode will destroy permanently.
PIV = 2Vs max
DC Output Voltage
The DC o/p voltage can appear at the load resistor (RL) and that can be
given like VDC = 2Vmax/π.
 Where,
‘Vmax’ is the max secondary voltage.
IRMS
The root mean square value of the load current of a full-wave rectifier is
IRMS= Im√2
VRMS
Root mean square value of the o/p load voltage of a full-wave rectifier is
VRMS=IRMS×RL=Im/√2×RL
Rectifier Efficiency
The efficiency of the rectifier can be defined as the fraction of
DC o/p power & the AC i/p power. Rectifier efficiency indicates
how efficiently converts AC into DC. When the rectifier
efficiency is high then it is called a good rectifier whereas the
efficiency is low then it is called an inefficient rectifier.
Η = Output(PDC)/Input(PAC)
For this rectifier, the efficiency is 81.2% and it is double as

compared with a half-wave rectifier
