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

Superconductivity is an advantageous property observed in some materials, which entails an electrical resistance of zero at extremely low temperatures. Superconductors, materials that exhibit this ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

STMicroelectronics announces its new family of Field-Effect Rectifier Diodes that provides a unique trade off between low forward voltage drop (VF) and low leakage current (IR) which permits designers ...

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 ...
