I am no longer convinced that you [always] need more than 2 high current diodes for a full wave bridge, to shape the wave-form of a North American 110v wall receptacle from AC into DC. In my case, the output of my transformers secondary is center tapped to negative. Here is a picture of what I am talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier along with a description of "single phase full wave rectification" with only two diodes and a center tap x-former. Is there a reason this AC to DC circuit wouldn't work this shottky barrier diode, which, if you scroll down on its data sheet here: http://www.sanrex.com/images/PDFs/BKR400AB10.pdf appears to be nothing more than two massive diodes already wired in proper polarity/configuration?? Thanks.
