This technical article gives you information on the advantages of Silicon Carbide Schottky Diodes over Silicon Rectifiers and how Silicon Rectifiers can compete with SiC Diodes. It also explains why ...

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 ...

Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we cannot create an ideal ...

Over on YouTube [Lockdown Electronics] reviews an old bit of kit known as the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). Invented in the 1950s the SCR is a type of thyristor and they were popular back in the ...

The Q-Series rectifier family from Qspeed Semiconductor has the lowest reverse-recovery-charge (QRR) and the best softness factor of any commercially available high-speed silicon rectifier, according ...

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 ...

IXYS ICD (formerly Clare, Inc) would like to highlight its 100V diode bridge chips, the CPC7556 and CPC7557, manufactured with IXYS ICD’s high voltage SOI technology, which it introduced earlier this ...
