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

A classic analog application is the full-wave precision rectifier (absolute value) function. Many variations exist on this theme, each with its own supposed (often rather minor and sometimes downright ...

Current-mode full-wave rectifiers and precision rectification techniques represent vital advancements in signal processing, enabling the conversion of alternating current (AC) signals into a stable ...

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 ...

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.

Over on YouTube [Lockdown Electronics] reviews an old bit of kit known as the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). Invented in the 1950s the SCR is a type of thyristor and they were popular back in ...

Systems requiring power conversion and level detection employ full-wave rectification, traditionally provided by a diode bridge. But diode bridges consume a significant amount of board space and ...

The regulator-rectifier plays a huge role in keeping a motorcycle’s electrical system running. By converting the engine’s alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), it powers the onboard ...
