Economically meeting efficiency specifications for ac/dc converters can be challenging. However, using the low VF rectifier (LVFR) technology, power supply efficiency can be improved without changing ...

The current-doubler rectifier is a popular alternative for the output stage of a buck-derived power converter, which would otherwise use a conventional center-tapped transformer with secondary-side, ...

A pair of 60-A general-purpose soft recovery diodes features up to 11% faster recovery time than competing 200-V devices, and approximately 17% faster recovery time than comparable 400-V devices. The ...

SMPS is the abbreviation of switching mode power supply, a kind of high-frequency power conversion device and a power supply device. Its function is to convert a level of voltage to the voltage or ...

Linear Technology has released a controller chip that turns four n-mosfets into an active bridge rectifier and cut the expected voltage drop of a bridge from 1.2V to under 100mV, dramatically cutting ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...
