Difference Between Center Tapped and Bridge Rectifier
The center-tapped and bride-type rectifiers are two different types of circuit constructions that converts both positive and negative cycles of ac into dc.

Difference Between Buck Converter and Boost Converter
A buck converter is a type of dc-to-dc converter by which we can control the output voltage from zero to the input voltage level. In other words, a buck converter is similar to a step-down transformer whose
Comparison Between SCR, BJT, MOSFET & IGBT
An SCR is a controlled rectifier made up of p-type and n-type semiconductor material belonging to the thyristor family. It consists of three terminals anode, cathode, and gate, and works similar to a diode when a pulse is applied to the gate terminal.
Difference Between IGBT and MOSFET – IGBT vs MOSFET
An IGBT is a new development in power semiconductor devices that possess the advantages of both MOSFET and BJT. A MOSFET is a unipolar three/four-terminal voltage-controlled device.
Difference Between GTO and SCR
GTO is another type of thyristor similar to SCR for which the gate has full control (both turning OFF and turning ON) over the operation of GTO.
Difference Between SCR and LASCR
LASCR (light-activated SCR) is also a type of thyristor made up of semiconductor material that turns ON when light radiations fall on it. LASCR is almost similar to SCR except it will turn ON only when exposed to sunlight.
Difference Between Half Controlled (Semi) & Fully Controlled Converter
Using a half-controlled converter a positive dc output voltage with unidirectional current is obtained. Whereas in the case of fully-controlled
