IXYS announced the introduction of high voltage rectifiers with 2.2 kV ratings in a new low cost surface mount type package, the D2-HV Pak (High Voltage TO-263). IXYS announced the introduction of ...

Infineon has expanded its CoolSiC Schottky diode 1200 V portfolio by adding six devices in a D²PAK real 2-pin package. Using SMD packages, designs can be more compact and more cost effective. Moreover ...

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 ...

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in one direction but not in the other. This ability makes diodes useful in many applications, including converting AC to DC, regulating voltages, and ...

Although they are usually limited to only two leads, rectifiers and diodes play an important role in power electronic systems. In 2011, many types of rectifier/diodes were introduced, from bridge ...

Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage ...

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 ...
