Alpha and Omega Semiconductor has announced a family of active diodes which can reduce the 1.2V forward drop of 600V bridge rectifiers. “Both products are self-powered from the AC line and do not ...

Linear Technology Corporation is claiming a major breakthrough with the introduction of the LT4320, an ideal diode bridge controller for 9V to 72V systems that replaces each of the four diodes in a ...

Typically, a power supply is comprised of a power transformer, which is then followed by a conventional bridge rectifier. The bridge rectifier is constructed using four diodes that are interconnected ...

Linear Technology announced the availability of a low loss 3-phase ideal diode bridge rectifier reference design, demonstrated on evaluation board DC2465. Linear Technology announced the availability ...

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 ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the availability of a low loss 3-phase ideal diode bridge rectifier reference design, demonstrated on evaluation board DC2465. Conventional 3-phase rectifiers ...

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 ...

Discrete component supplier Lite-On Semiconductor has released a new full bridge rectifier integrating its MOSFET chips and Schottky diodes for wireless charging applications. Save my User ID and ...
