A superconducting diode bridge composed of four superconducting diodes efficiently converts AC to DC at cryogenic temperatures, achieving rectification efficiencies up to 42% ± 5%.

Diodes are essential semiconductor devices used to control the direction of electrical current in circuits. This tutorial explains how diodes work, their different types, and why they are critical ...

This Design Idea illustrates a way to make use of MOSFETs’ parasitic body diodes in a power circuit that can be used in UPS and energy-recovery (e.g., regenerative braking) designs. The circuit can ...
