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 ...

The newest member of Anachip's family of high-speed controllers is designed to drive N-channel power MOSFET used as synchronous rectifier in high current and high frequency fly-back converters. The ...

There was this fellow, Rudy Severns, who many years ago went on a speaking tour for International Rectifier to discuss “Hexfets,” their power MOSFETs, when that product line was still new. If memory ...

The 600V, three-phase AUIRS2332J MOSFET- and IGBT-gate-driver IC for high-voltage EV (electric-vehicle) and HEV (hybridelectric-vehicle) applications features three independent high- and ...

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 ...
