Typically, a power supply is comprised of a power transformer, which is then followed by a conventional bridge rectifier. The bridge rectifier is constructed using four diodes that are interconnected ...
A diode bridge controller for 9 to 72V systems replaces each of the four diodes in a full wave bridge rectifier with a low loss n-channel mosfet to reduce power dissipation and increase available ...
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 ...
Justin Mamaradlo continues his exploration of the P2 with a look at the diode bridge, including a modified version, and the offset adjust blocks. 1. This simplified block representation shows the ...
Alpha & Omega’s AOZ7203AV active bridge driver controls two external N-channel MOSFETs to replace two low-side diodes in an AC/DC bridge rectifier. The self-powered dual-driver IC can help improve ...
