{{ /current_doubler_low_dc_offset_magnetica.png?500 }} 

Typical current waveforms of a [[/current doubler]] for which the DC offset is low. The RMS values of the inductor currents are relatively high (as compared to the total rectified current D1+D2) due to the high ripple. The advantage of the current doubler is therefore lost. Nevertheless, the output [[/current ripple]] is smaller than each of the inductor current ripple.

The waveforms are generated with [[/LTspice]].
