This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by eliminating the diodes in the bridge rectifier and substituting modern low-R DS (ON) power MOSFETs.

In essence, a rectifier diode, but one so small that it may one day help replace much bulkier diodes and other semiconductors found on today's integrated circuits to produce incredibly compact ...

New York, United States, Aug. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The rectifier is a two-lead semiconductor that only enables electricity to flow in one direction. It is a semiconductor diode used for ...

A diode allows current to travel in only one direction. With that in mind, [Alex] built a mechanical diode that will only allow gear rotation in one direction to be transmitted through the system. … ...

In the simple ‘precision rectifier diode’ case, this situation is generally solved using the ‘improved precision rectifier’ (google if need be) circuit, but that would definitely need a negative rail ...

This video covers the essential steps to properly test a car's alternator and diagnose common alternator issues. The guide ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop?

Diodes (DIOD) is benefiting from a strong footprint in the industrial and automotive markets. Its 2A trench Schottky rectifiers and automotive-compliant linear LED driver further strengthen its ...

The required PIV rating could be resolved by initially substituting a test diode with a high voltage rating, and scoping later. This left only the unknown junction capacitance, Cj, and reverse ...
