What is a full-wave rectifier?
A full-wave rectifier converts the entire input AC waveform to DC, utilizing both the positive and negative half-cycles of the input signal, resulting in a smoother output compared to a half-wave rectifier.

See lessExplain the operation of a half-wave rectifier.
A half-wave rectifier converts only one half of the input AC waveform to DC, allowing current to flow during the positive half-cycle and blocking it during the negative half-cycle.

See lessExplain the operation of a PN junction diode.
A PN junction diode consists of P-type and N-type semiconductor materials. When forward-biased, it allows current to flow freely; when reverse-biased, it blocks current flow.

See lessExplain the concept of asynchronous counter and its advantages.
An asynchronous counter is a type of counter where each flip-flop is clocked individually, allowing for flexible counting sequences and reduced hardware complexity, suitable for applications with asynchronous input signals or variable clock frequencies.

See lessWhat is a metastable state in flip-flops and its consequences?
Metastable state in flip-flops occurs when the input signals violate the setup and hold time constraints, leading to unpredictable and transient behavior in the flip-flop output, potentially causing data corruption and timing issues in digital systems.
