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.

Scientists working at the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES) claim to have created a molecule-sized electronic component just a few nanometers long that conducts electricity ...

NANJING, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, SMC Diode Solutions, an American-led semiconductor design and manufacturing company, celebrated the opening of its second power discrete fab in Nanjing, China.

Replacing the silicon rectifier diodes in a full-wave bridge with N-type MOSFETs eliminates the V f drop in each conducting pair. The effects of the gain in efficiency are not trivial. To accomplish ...
