Fig. 1. Typical diode full-wave bridge. Full-wave diode bridges are found in many electronic systems (Fig. 1). At typical AC power line voltages, the drop across the diodes has little impact on the ...

Abstract: This paper proposes the use of voltage-doubling diode rectifier in the output stage of the zero-voltage-switching active-clamping current-fed half-bridge isolated DC-DC converter and ...

Linear Technology Corporation is claiming a major breakthrough with the introduction of the LT4320, an ideal diode bridge controller for 9V to 72V systems that replaces each of the four diodes in a ...

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor has announced a family of active diodes which can reduce the 1.2V forward drop of 600V bridge rectifiers. “Both products are self-powered from the AC line and do not ...

The LT4320 from Linear Technology Corporation is an ideal diode bridge controller for 9V to 72V systems that replaces each of the four diodes in a full-wave bridge rectifier with a low loss N-channel ...

Automotive bridge rectifier diodes are crucial components in vehicle electrical systems, converting alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) to power various electronic devices and systems.

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 ...

The purpose of this activity is to investigate the use of four diodes as a bridge rectifier. Written by Antoniu Miclaus and Doug Mercer of Analog Devices Four diodes can be arranged in a bridge ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the availability of a low loss 3-phase ideal diode bridge rectifier reference design, demonstrated on evaluation board DC2465. Conventional 3-phase rectifiers ...
