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 ...
The switching speed of a power MOSFET charge-controlled device depends on the speed with which an associated gate driver circuit can charge its input capacitance. For the last 20 years, many excellent ...
There was this fellow, Rudy Severns, who many years ago went on a speaking tour for International Rectifier to discuss “Hexfets,” their power MOSFETs, when that product line was still new. If memory ...
The 600V, three-phase AUIRS2332J MOSFET- and IGBT-gate-driver IC for high-voltage EV (electric-vehicle) and HEV (hybridelectric-vehicle) applications features three independent high- and ...
Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we cannot create an ideal ...
