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

Within the scope of this power electronics tutorial, we will investigate the behavior of a silicon carbide (SiC) rectifier whose operating temperature is significantly greater than the temperature of ...

ANAHEIM, Calif. — PolyIC GmbH & Co. KG, a joint venture created by Kurz GmbH and Siemens AG, has presented a polymer-based rectifier diode that works at frequencies up to and beyond 13-MHz to a ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a superconducting diode (SD)–based rectifier that helps deliver direct current (DC ...

STMicroelectronics has released details of a patented high-efficiency circuit and dedicated optimized power components. ST’s new design, called BC2 (Back-Current Circuit) is claimed to produce cost ...
