Welcome back to this week’s installment of Scope Noob where I’m sharing my experiences learning to use my first oscilloscope. Last week I started out measuring mains frequency using an AC-AC wall wart ...

Abstract: This article presents the development of a general MHz synchronous rectifier (SR) designed for resonant converters. It examines the potential losses in a nonideal SR, encompassing driving ...

Abstract: Diode bridge rectifiers are simple means of converting single phase AC to DC. Such converters are widely used in many applications primarily in low cost and low to medium power ranges. Large ...

The losses in a bridge rectifier can easily become significant when low voltages are being rectified. The voltage drop across the bridge is a good 1.5 V, which is a hefty 25% with an input voltage of ...

A bridge rectifier is used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which can be used elsewhere in the circuit. This type of full-wave rectifier uses a standard transformer and four ...

With Linear Technology’s LT4320 ideal-diode bridge controller, power supply designers can replace each of the four diodes in a conventional full-wave bridge rectifier with a low-loss N-channel MOSFET.

Using a few diodes and a LED, you can make a nice indicator as shown in associated schematic diagram that can be used for a lot of applications (with a bit of luck). It’s quite suitable for use in ...

I went to the local Radio Shack (yes, I'm far out enough into the sticks we still got Radio Shacks) and got a 8A 400V bridge recitifer, cut open a power cable, and wired it according to the schematic ...
