A new set of compact synchronous-rectifier controllers has surfaced that could shrink board space and boost efficiency across ...

Vishay Intertechnology is introducing four 100V Gen 2 Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier modules. They are in the ...

Even if you aren’t a tube aficionado, you can’t help but be mesmerized by the blue glow inside a mercury vapor rectifier when it operates. It looks less like early 20th century tech and more like ...

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 ...

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 classic analog application is the precision active full-wave rectifier. Many different implementations exist of this theme, each with its own supposed advantages. However, one circuit element needed ...

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 ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced four new 100V Gen 2 Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifier modules in the compact, fully insulated SOT-227 package. Optimised for power conversion in ...
