Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we ...

comprise a transformer, rectifier, and filter capacitor. Many single-voltage power suppliesconsist of a transformer, arectifier, and a filter capacitor, as shownin Figure 1. This circuit is ...

Beware! The behavior of a part outside its operating specifications is not always predictable. Beware! The behavior of a part outside its operating specifications is not always predictable. In my ...

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq: AOSL), a designer, developer, and global supplier of a broad range of power semiconductors, power ICs, and ...

With Linear Technology’s LT4320 ideal-diode bridge controller, power supply designers can replace each of the four diodes in a conventional full-wave bridge rectifier with a low-loss N-channel MOSFET.

Almost all off line switching power supplies over several kilowatts of output power use a three phase bridge rectifier. Typically, it comprises a six diode bridge and a DC bus filter capacitor. A ...
