A new front end/rectifier has been designed for low profile, distributed power architecture applications. The CAR1248 is packaged in a 1U-high footprint measuring 1.65" x 3.44" x 11.2". Touted as best ...

Basic rectifiers are vital to efficient power supplies and circuits, but their size is a potential problem. A new series of Schottky rectifiers from Vishay, SSA23L through SSC54, can help. The units ...

This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

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 ...
