The function of the diode is to provide only 1 pave for current flow. Since the voltage after a step down from the transformer is AC, the diode is essential to change this AC voltage to DC voltage. To have a better idea The graph of the output voltage after step down is actually a sine curve. After passing through the diode, the resultant graph will be a sine curve w/o the negative/positive (depends on direction of diode) part of the curve. So it is necessary to have the present of diode to convert AC voltage to pusalting DC voltage Aids your research To get better idea of the concept of a triple output power supply, i suggest that you break up the research into different part. We noe that a power supply needs - Transformer to step down AC voltage from the power unit to the required amount - Retifier to convert AC voltage to pulsating DC voltage - Filter to convert this pulsating voltage to pure DC voltage - Voltage regulator to direct the desire output voltage So it is better that you guyz search through the net to get ideas of these sector. After understanding the function of
