Infineon has expanded its CoolSiC Schottky diode 1200 V portfolio by adding six devices in a D²PAK real 2-pin package. Using SMD packages, designs can be more compact and more cost effective. Moreover ...

LASER COMPONENTS is proud to announce the cw laser diode ADL-65074zl from Arima – the first laser source that can be mounted directly on a circuit board as an SMD and at the same time features a ...

Diodes has announced the APR348, a secondary-side, multi-mode synchronous rectification mosfet driver. The driver is designed for AC-DC rectification circuits in general consumer applications, ...

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

The effective control of heat transfer is of great significance to improve energy efficiency. Thermal diode is one of the key elements for heat flow controlling. Similar to the current rectification ...

The word “ideal” is often used in introductory engineering classes as a starting point to describe a component. However, at some point in any actual project or design, reality sets in, as there’s no ...

A way to reach a rectification ratio thought a theoretical impossibility has been demonstrated by an international research team from the University of Central Florida (UCF), the University 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 ...
