simulation - Diode Bridge in Simulator not behaving as expected


Hi I have a Diode Bridge as outlined in the image below. As you can see I am getting a negative voltage on one pair of diodes instead of this voltage being flipped to positive.


Can you see anything wrong with my design or does it look like the simulator program getting it wrong?

Answer



In your simulation you have placed the GND at one end of the AC supply. When you measure the voltage at the DC+ and the DC- points of the bridge with respect to the GND this is what you will see.


Place your GND reference at the DC- point and then you will get what you expect.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
