Power supplies that use diodes to rectify an ac voltage to obtain a dc voltage must deal with inherent inefficiencies. A standard diode or ultra-fast diode can have a 1-V forward voltage or higher at ...
You can combine a carefully chosenop amp, a low-thresholdP-channel MOSFET, and two feedbackresistors to make a rectifier circuit withless forward drop than a diode (Figure1). The rectified output ...
And here it is, modelled using LTSpice. It is the same circuit as the classic simple precision rectifier (set to pass the negative half-sine), but with the non-inverting input of the op-amp connected ...
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - International Rectifier (NYSE: IRF) today introduced iPOWIR™ technology, a whole new way to design on-board DC-DC converters for computing and communications equipment. Power ...
Bridge rectifier circuits used at the power input of a device allow it to be insensitive to the polarity of the device’s power source. The device itself may be sensitive to the polarity of the power ...
