Bourns Inc. has released five new bridge rectifiers for switch-mode power supply (SMPS) applications, and these devices come in an ultra-low size package of 1.0 x 1.4 mm, making them highly suitable ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power management leader, Kinetic Technologies, is expanding its Power over Ethernet (PoE) portfolio with the introduction of the KTA1170 dual active bridge rectifier ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

International Rectifier has introduced a family of 600V igbts optimised for motor drive applications operating below 10kHz, such as compressors for refrigerators and air conditioners. The Gen7 F ...

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 ...

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.

Welcome back to this week’s installment of Scope Noob where I’m sharing my experiences learning to use my first oscilloscope. Last week I started out measuring mains frequency using an AC-AC wall wart ...
