Electronic engineers know the common mantras when it comes to creating new designs: Make it cheaper. Make it smaller. Make it faster. These goals, along with technological evolution, keep most ...
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 ...
The switching speed of a power MOSFET charge-controlled device depends on the speed with which an associated gate driver circuit can charge its input capacitance. For the last 20 years, many excellent ...

There was this fellow, Rudy Severns, who many years ago went on a speaking tour for International Rectifier to discuss “Hexfets,” their power MOSFETs, when that product line was still new. If memory ...
The voltage across the capacitor pretending to be the mosfet gate capacitance is not getting close enough to the oV rail (see black rectangle below left) to turn off the mosfet properly – my ...
International Rectifier has expanded its portfolio of RAD-Hardä Logic Level gate drive MOSFETs with the introduction of 60 V, 100 V and 250 V MOSFETs for switch mode power supplies (SMPS), satellite ...
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 ...
