Superconductivity is an advantageous property observed in some materials, which entails an electrical resistance of zero at ...

The phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB ... voltage stress on the output rectifier traditionally requires a passive snubber [1] such as a resistor-capacitor-diode (RCD) snubber, but the use of a passive ...

Last week I started out measuring mains frequency using an AC-AC wall wart adapter. Homework, for those following along, was to build a bridge rectifier ... on the scope’s power cord.

Using higher voltage FETs, say 60-100V, in a bridge rectifier circuit as shown in Figure 2, could significantly enhance power savings. Table 1 shows the differences in power dissipation after ...

Linear Technology has released a controller chip that turns four n-mosfets into an active bridge rectifier ... dramatically cutting power dissipation. Reducing power dissipation is the main reason for ...

Compared to the traditional alternative, the MOSFET bridge enables a rectifier design that is highly space- and power-efficient ... Evaluation circuit boards are available.
