A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...

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 ...

Abstract: Solid-state transformers (SSTs) are conventionally based on a multistage architecture, with an input and/or an output ac/dc converter (for interfacing with the ac grid and/or the load), and ...

[Julian] knows that real diodes you can buy don’t work exactly like we say they do. That’s actually pretty common. We routinely ignore things like wire resistance and source resistance in batteries.

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.

The joint collaboration on SiC rectifier modules brings the next step in module compactness and maximum power density. Nexperia has partnered with KYOCERA AVX Components (Salzburg) to produce a novel ...
