We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The PIN diode market offers significant opportunities in automotive radar for ADAS, fast-switching diodes for 5G, and high-power solutions for defense. Global 5G ...

Addressing key design and manufacturing concerns of solar panel makers producing next-generation PV modules, Diodes Inc has housed its latest 12A-rated SBR12U45LH SBR (Super Barrier Rectifier) in a ...
