A new approach to designing a synchronous rectifier will help engineers unlock efficiency gains that extend beyond ...

The amount of data needed for cloud computing is constantly growing, thus leading to increased energy consumption. A pivotal role is, in fact, played by The UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) [2][3].

Vishay has introduced 16 of its FRED Pt ultrafast rectifiers. These are in the low profile DFN6546A package with wettable flanks. They are aimed at commercial, industrial, and automotive applications.

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 ...

Over on YouTube [Lockdown Electronics] reviews an old bit of kit known as the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). Invented in the 1950s the SCR is a type of thyristor and they were popular back in the ...

When Electronic Design asked me to write about my Idea for Design, first seen in this year’s August 13 issue, it seemed a simple enough task. We’re all familiar with design. Most of us do it in some ...

AC/DC power-factor correction (PFC) rectifiers are hugely benefitting from GaN FETs. They have very simple topologies; The inductor is the only magnetic part and this is usually a constant-frequency ...
