Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage ...

The LT8672 is an active rectifier controller that (along with a MOSFET) provides reverse current protection and rectification for power supplies in automotive environments. This job is traditionally ...

When Electronic Design asked me to write about my Idea for Design, first seen in this year’s August 13 issue, it seemed a simple enough task. We’re all familiar with design. Most of us do it in some ...

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 ...

International Rectifier has introduced a reference design for +12V, 100A ORing applications. Active ORing has long replaced diode ORing in high current 12V systems due to system efficiency and cost ...

AOZ7200 and AOZ7270 Enable Efficiency and Thermal Enhancement in High Power Adaptors and Titanium Level Efficiency in AC-DC Power Supplies SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Alpha and Omega ...

Power supplies that use diodes to rectify an ac voltage to obtain a dc voltage must deal with inherent inefficiencies. A standard diode or ultra-fast diode can have a 1-V forward voltage or higher at ...
