Economically meeting efficiency specifications for ac/dc converters can be challenging. However, using the low VF rectifier (LVFR) technology, power supply efficiency can be improved without changing ...

A classic analog application is the full-wave precision rectifier (absolute value) function. Many variations exist on this theme, each with its own supposed (often rather minor and sometimes downright ...

Linear Technology’s LT3809 flyback secondary-side synchronous rectifier driver replaces the output diode forward-voltage drop with the RDS(ON) of an external N-channel MOSFET, thus reducing the power ...

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 ...

Almost all off line switching power supplies over several kilowatts of output power use a three phase bridge rectifier. Typically, it comprises a six diode bridge and a DC bus filter capacitor. A ...

These days ready-to-use DC-DC converters are everywhere, with some of the cheaper ones even being safe to use without an ...
