Electronic engineers know the common mantras when it comes to creating new designs: Make it cheaper. Make it smaller. Make it faster. These goals, along with technological evolution, keep most ...

A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...

The losses in a bridge rectifier can easily become significant when low voltages are being rectified. The voltage drop across the bridge is a good 1.5 V, which is a hefty 25% with an input voltage of ...

The newest member of Anachip's family of high-speed controllers is designed to drive N-channel power MOSFET used as synchronous rectifier in high current and high frequency fly-back converters. The ...

Central Semiconductor has announced a pair of dual hyper-fast rectifiers in TO-247 packaging, designed for use with super-junction mosfets. CRU24715-600 has two 600V 15A rectifiers with a common ...

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 cannot create an ideal ...

NANJING, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, SMC Diode Solutions, an American-led semiconductor design and manufacturing company, celebrated the opening of its second power discrete fab in Nanjing, China.
