Eltek Valere’s new 2000-W ac-dc rectifier for telecom applications boosts typical efficiency from the 92% available from some existing rectifiers to 96%, cutting rectifier power losses in half (see ...

Eric Lidow, a pioneer in power electronics and the founder of International Rectifier, has died at the age of 100. Lidow was born in Vilnius, Lithuania in 1912. He was educated as an electrical ...

Linear Technology has released a controller chip that turns four n-mosfets into an active bridge rectifier and cut the expected voltage drop of a bridge from 1.2V to under 100mV, dramatically cutting ...

The current-doubler rectifier is a popular alternative for the output stage of a buck-derived power converter, which would otherwise use a conventional center-tapped transformer with secondary-side, ...

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 ...

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 ...

As the 19th century turned into the 20th a problem occupied communications technologists – the absence of a reliable rectifier to convert the ac used by radio transmitters into the dc used by ...

Maker of power electronic equipment, Hind Rectifiers has acquired a France-based robotics and EMS R&D company BeLink Solutions for Euro one million, the company announced in an exchange filing on ...
