Electronic engineers know the common mantras when it comes to creating new designs: Make it cheaper. Make it smaller. Make it faster. These goals, along with technological evolution, keep most ...

With Linear Technology’s LT4320 ideal-diode bridge controller, power supply designers can replace each of the four diodes in a conventional full-wave bridge rectifier with a low-loss N-channel MOSFET.

A Class D audio amplifier is a switching amplifier that consists of a pulse width modulator (with switching frequency in the order of several hundred kHz), a power bridge circuit and a low pass filter ...

Central Semiconductor has announced a pair of dual hyper-fast rectifiers in TO-247 packaging, designed for use with super-junction mosfets. CRU24715-600 has two 600V 15A rectifiers with a common ...

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 ...

For more than a decade, MOSFET manufacturers have made changes to improve device efficiency by using silicon processing modifications and package innovations. In particular, the synchronous buck ...
