design question

Design the circuit of a DC power supply that uses a full wave bridge recti er and operates with an input sine wave at 50 Hz. Your circuit design should satisfy the following criteria listed below. Explain all assumptions you make.  Recti er part should use silicon pn junction diodes with VD(ON) = 0:7 V.  Circuit should be directly supplied from an AC source without a transformer.  Peak-to-peak ripple voltage (Vr(p
